Directed by Robert Hasfogel, 2012, Germany, 83 min. In German with English subtitles.
Come and enjoy the New England Premiere of this great comedy! Colorful balloon dresses, long party nights in Berlin’s trendy clubs and erotic evenings on the dining table – this is the chaotic relationship of the unequal couple of Ernst and Tobias. Though opposites attract, respectable banker Ernst is often unsure, whether bubbly and always cheerful Tobias takes their relationship as seriously as he does. Soon they rise to a challenge of every relationship: everyday living together and mutual trust. The sudden appearance of Uta, Ernst’s eccentric school friend, fundamentally changes their relationship. Uta forges out a scheming plan, which Ernst completely falls for. Together with his friends, Tobias spares no efforts to checkmate the unwelcome guest as soon as possible – and sets events in motion that increasingly get out of control.
To date, the German gay movie was mostly limited to coming out stories of young men. MEN TO KISS charmingly proves that homosexuality can play another role in gay movies, and replaces common clichés with authentic everyday stories. MEN TO KISS is an entertaining comedy about love, friendship and Berlin, full of vivid dialogues and emotional moments, captivating the viewer with fetching characters from the first moment.
