CONTENT WARNING:

When it’s cold – breathe. It’s November and 26-year-old Lukas is not so much living as floating. His dream of making it as a musician is on the wane and his great passion – rap – has also past its heyday. Lukas lives with his producer, 46-year-old Mischa, in an old loft where they cultivate cannabis. They have been having a turbulent affair for years – but this is a closely guarded secret. Lukas has grown cold inside and only really feels himself in moments of excess. Drunk and coked up to the eyeballs he toils his way through a gig in a small club.

This film is presented in German with English subtitles.

Laure Charpentier

Journey back to the 1960s and the dangerously sexy section of Paris known as Pigalle with Gigola. Formerly a precocious schoolgirl, Georges drops out of medical school and reinvents herself as Gigola, a black tuxedo attired seducer of women. It's 1963 and Paris is sizzling with sex. The stylishly butch Gigola spends her days roaming chic Parisian cafés, taking on the male criminal underclass at its own game, enticing pretty femmes away from their pimps, breaking hearts and making a few enemies along the way. Her evenings are spent in famous lesbian cabaret bar Chez Moune, picking up rich older women who keep her in the decadent style she has become accustomed to. It's not the life her parents wished for her, but it's a life she enjoys, or so it seems.
