A city always known as a magnet for alternate lifestyles, Berlin has been attracting people of different and interesting 'genders' since the 19th Century. Director Julia Ostertag, camera in hand, takes us through a tour of unusual (and some not) clubs throughout the city during a period of a few months. We encounter known personalities, drag queens and other night creatures, all a tad peculiar. Sexuality without borders, and breaking taboos are the main themes addressed. The documentary, above all, questions the concept of 'normalcy' and the many prejudices established by society as a whole, and the different segments of society shown on film.
