Desire Will Set You Free Page #4

Synopsis: Desire Will Set You Free is a feature film that explores life in contemporary Berlin with an often critical and sometimes humorous eye. Based on a true story, the plot follows the relationship of an American writer of Israeli/Palestinian descent and a Russian aspiring artist working as a hustler, offering access to the city's vibrant queer and underground scenes while examining the differences between expatriate and refugee life. Our characters travel through Berlin's layered history and unique subcultural landscape; on their adventures they discover influences and remnants of the Weimar Republic, WWII, the Bowie years, and punk. Many original Berlin personalities play themselves and the locations are all real Berlin locations. The film features performances by the queen of punk Nina Hagen, electro star Peaches, Brooklyn's Blood Orange, German sensation Rummelsnuff, rapper Sookee, Einstürzende Neubauten's Blixa Bargeld;  and Wolfgang Müller, plus cast members Amber Benson (of Buffy the

Look if we are going to be friends

you cannot come to my work.

You understand?

Okay.

My friend kicked me out of his house.

So where are you staying?

The hotel.

And how are you affording that?

Work more.

If you want you could

just go to my house

and pass out or whatever, listen to music.

Okay.

I'm tired.

Good, everything's good,

it's good to see you guys.

Mom, you have nothing to worry about.

Yeah, I think a visit's

like a really good idea,

you guys'll have a really great time here.

But right now I actually

have to go, it's really good

to see you guys, okay?

Bye.

Your parents sound nice.

Did you hear that some

Neo Nazis raided QB?

Bastards.

Are they okay?

Those classless brutes

should have some respect

for Berlin culture.

I hope that all the dykes

kicked the sh*t out of them.

Since when did all these

Scandinavian artsy types

become so gay?

And they must have come

along with all the British

Dotcommers, right Conner?

I'm not even British, Catherine.

So why did you move to Berlin?

Because you know at the

end of Liquid Sky the movie

the two lesbians ditch

Manhattan for Berlin.

Otto knows what I'm talking about.

Ezra, don't you think we already have

too many Canadians in town?

I like the Canadians.

What's your background?

My mom's from Palestine, my

dad's an Israeli German Jew.

You decided to come to Germany

instead of go to the Middle East?

He wanted to indulge in his white roots.

Not his brown ones.

Thank you.

You okay?

Yeah.

It's my friend.

He won't let me come pick my things.

Why not?

I don't know, he is mad.

Wanna go get something to eat?

I don't have any money.

You don't have to go to work all week?

No.

Mo?

Mole.

Mole!

Mole McHenry, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.

Oh my god I will never be

able to adopt an Asian child.

I don't know, some people,

I just don't get their vibe.

And it's kinda a creepy vibe.

And it happens once every 20 people.

And it's not about how they look.

Is that Ezra's?

Yeah.

Yeah.

'Cause we need an

office space but we can't

find an office space 'cause

no one has an office job.

No, she was really nice, she's funny.

She's got a kind of...

Yeah.

Biting way about her.

I'm Jayne, I'm Catherine's girlfriend.

Hi.

Hi.

It's more Catherine's friends,

I mean there's some people

and girlfriends and

stuff but I don't know.

I'm really glad I can't

speak German sometimes.

Do you think about

me when you f*** her

I love the way she says

that though, when ya f*** her.

How does this guy f*** her?

He fucks her.

I f*** her.

F*** her.

Don't be upset, don't be upset,

don't be upset, don't be upset!

I love you, I love you!

You'll wanna

be here with everybody
