A highly sought-after director fell in love with a handsome young man he met by chance at first sight. When he turned his male companion into a new star on the screen, he also fell into an abyss from which there was no escape. The film reinterprets Reiner Werner Fassbinder's "Bertina's Tears", a master of the German New Wave, and changes the gender of the protagonist from female to male in Fassbinder's own image. In addition to inviting Denis Menocher from "Inglourious Basterds" and Academy Award winner Isabel Agani to act on the same stage, they also invited the legendary actress Hannah Shugula from the original work to make a cameo appearance. This can be regarded as the boldest tribute to Fassbender.[Collapse]
