It’s sensual! An erotic exploration in a friendly attraction. It’s night! Victor and Rainer are on a train going clubbing. It’s emotional! They exchange their hipster scarfs on the way. It’s sexy! They are looking for lust and seduction while dancing. It’s impulsive! They pick fights on the street just for the sake of it. It’s passionate! They claim each other’s presence in the relationship. It’s mysterious! They are desperately looking for the unknown, a melodrama to make them feel, to make them suffer, cry, a melodrama to make them alive. It’s poetic! They share their feelings and anxieties through subtexual dialogue. It’s tragic! They are young and they already feel hopeless, alone and dead. It’s arrousing! Visually and aurally the film get’s you in such an erotic mood that is hard not to have a mental erection. (Nina Veligradi)
