Plot/Synopsis:
Beginning in West Germany in 1982, 18-year old school boy Helmut falls in love with fellow pupil Britta. He starts working for a Peace movement to get to know Britta. Britta, however, suddenly moves to San Francisco to live with her father and whilst there, finds a new boyfriend. Helmut studies literature and politics in his home town and has a relationship with another girl from his former school, now studying medicine on the same university but they break up after having an affair with her room mate. Helmut begins a lot of short affairs with different women but still searches for his first girl.
Years later, in 1989, the Berlin wall falls and the Cold war ends. Helmut is lying in his girlfriend’s bed when his old school friend Mücke calls him, who saw Britta in Berlin. Helmut hurries to Berlin and finds Britta, but she has changed and has become arrogant. Mücke tells him afterwards that he had an affair with Britta and that Britta has had a lot of affairs. Worried by this, Helmut begins a lot of new affairs and his parents get divorced at that time. In 1998, Helmut settles down with a girl who wants a baby with him, but Helmut travels one more time to Berlin to meet Britta for one last time.
The film is based on the novel Liegen lernen by Frank Goosen from the year 2000. While the novel takes place in Bochum, the film was set in Düsseldorf. The novel has a lot of biographical moments from Goosen, but the story is typical for a West German youth in the 1980s. The novel became very popular through the great ’80s revival in western Germany around the year 2000.

Plot/Synopsis:
Angelina Maccarone made her directorial debut with this comedy-drama, the Audience Award-winner at the 1997 New York Gay & Lesbian Film Festival. Young Afro-German lesbian Nabou, depressed after the departure of her punk-rocker lover Katja, bicycles aimlessly about the city when not hanging out with her spacy roommate Giuseppe. To spy on Katja, Nabou accepts a job offer to work as a maid in Katja’s building. But she quickly forgets about Katja after meeting her new employer, attractive ad exec Kim, involved in a ho-hum relationship with her male ad agency boss. It’s not long before neon billboards flash and sparks fly as Nabou and Kim acknowledge their mutual attraction. A soundtrack of American pop music and handheld Super 16 camerawork adds to the kinetic and energetic erotic explorations. ~ Bhob Stewart, Allrovi
