Romeos
“How do you love someone, if you don't show who you are?”
Lukas, 20, is a prisoner in his own body. As a pre-op transgendered person, he is constantly finding himself trapped in uncomfortable, compromising positions. His best friend, Ine introduces him to the gay scene in Cologne where he meets the confident and gorgeous, Fabio. The two develop a romantic relationship that tests the boundaries of love. ROMEOS forgoes stereotypes and conventions to offer an honest and humorous examination of the most basic of human conditions: friendship, sex, and love.
A raw, intimate look at navigating identity and desire. It feels like a quiet, honest conversation about finding yourself and the courage to love, even when the world feels complicated. Tender and hopeful.
