Romeos

Friendship, love and sexual awakening emerge in this most unusual insight into transgender life.

Full of the zest for life, 20-year-old Lukas enters big-city life. His best friend Ine sweeps him into the homosexual scene of Cologne, where she is well integrated. Here Lukas experiences his first real flirt with the cheeky, daredevilish and outwardly attractive Fabio.

Fabio embodies all that Lukas lacks - disproportionately positive self-confidence and a highly erotic masculinity. The initial attraction between the two boys gradually develops until Fabio accesses the secret of Lukas’s identity – that he was in fact born as a girl.
