A semi-autobiographical drama that candidly explores the tension between anonymous sexual freedom and committed partnership within a closeted gay life, balancing intimacy with transgression.

Frank, a dedicated schoolteacher, embraces the sexual freedoms of the city’s underground scene—navigating a double life in public restrooms, cinemas, and cruising spots. When he meets Bernd, a sweet and steady museum worker, he finds himself torn between the comfort of domestic partnership and the allure of anonymous desire.
