A wonderful movie, being gay myself I really saw myself in the protagonist. It's been a long time that I have seen a German film, that is so authentic and honest, really it was nearly like a documentary, you really feel like being there as well.
It's one of the rare film in which everything fits together, the acting, the music, the dramatic art, the fun, the dialogs.
The acting is outstanding. Robert Stadlober is so convincing. You really can feel it when he's desperate or angry.
The music was touching and moving, there are wonderful scenes when the camera floats over the lake while it rains and this wonderful sad classical music is played. So beautiful...
I think the director did a wonderful job, he - being gay and young himself - of course also knew what it's like growing up and discovering your homosexuality as Tobi does.
Clichés and stereotypes are discussed by the actors themselves. :-)
For gay people it's a must as everyone surely can partly see oneself in Tobi and for straight people it's a great chance to broaden their horizons as they can learn about the difficulty of growing up while being "different".
It's a real honest film.
Go and see it! It's 10/10 from me!
