As the title suggests, this groundbreaking film is about a young man accepting the fact that he is gay. Filmed in the GDR in 1989, the film is as sensitive as the storyline is brilliant, and it also provides a fascinating insight into life on the other side of the wall. It also has a special poignancy because the film premiered in East Berlin the very night that the wall fell.

Much edgier and not as glossy as Goodbye Lenin, this is the film to see before coming to Berlin. The production company's website (www.x-filme.de) is also a good place to see the latest in German independent cinema.

The film that made Germany cool again. You’ve probably already seen it. But get it out on DVD and see it again.
