Plot Summary

Gay Austrian fashion guru Brüno has his own fashion-based television show, Funkyzeit, the most popular German-language show of its kind outside of Germany. After he disgraces himself in front of his Funkyzeit fan base, he is ruined in German-speaking Europe. He decides that in his quest for worldwide fame, he will move to Los Angeles and reinvent himself. Accompanying him to the US is Lutz, his former assistant's assistant, the only person left in his circle that still believes in Brüno's greatness. Brüno goes through one reinvention of himself after another, ultimately straying to areas far-removed from his true self. Perhaps when Brüno finds an activity that he truly loves, he will also find that über-fame he so desperately desires. Written by Huggo
