Synopsis

Spoiler shield

A homosexual couple in Berlin, one of whom has a fervent desire to adopt, discovers that the other already has a son. They are able to track him down near Lübeck, but meeting his biological father, the owner of a travesty club, is initially a disappointment for the young man, a sportsman with professional dreams. Only slowly and with great difficulty do the two of them come closer together and consider a solution to all their problems.
