Synopsis

Spoiler shield

A gang of neo-Nazi skinheads, representing the extreme right wing, break into the apartment of a mixed race bourgeois gay couple and sexually terrorize and violate them. This film sends up the gay fetishization of authoritarian and fascistic figures (cops, skinheads, etc.), and the phenomenon of the prevalence of homosexuality amongst extreme right wing leaders and movements.
