Shamelessly, Jürgen Brüning samples and remixes clips and scraps of material from his own work as a director and producer (among others for Bruce LaBruce & Shu Lea Cheang) with borrowed pop cultural references from around the world for this video essay on gay identity. His reflections are connected by songs that address miscellaneous news and social issues with egalitarian verve, sung by hot guys in a public toilet. A film full of meandering associations and unexplained references, it's at the same time a political musical and the taking stock of a romantic revolutionary. Anti-religious, anti-authoritarian and somehow also a bit anti-everything!
