In the wake of the ground-breaking La Cage Aux Folles came this adorable, authentic, semi-autobiographical comedy of errors concerning a Berlin schoolteacher living his best life, cruising the city’s cottages while holding together a loving relationship. The Scala programme notes routinely quoted City Limits’ review: ‘It could be Dudley Moore really, give or take the glory holes and golden shower’.

Contains scenes that some may find disturbing.
