Desire Will Set You Free Page #5

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

and you'll stay all

night and you'll end up

really shitfaced...

No.

And then be like no get

to me 'cause I can't even

have sex with you 'cause

you're totally unconscious.

It's a shame Berlin's tearing down

all its beautiful Nazi

architecture, don't you think?

Meanwhile in Berlin

Meanwhile in Berlin

Meanwhile in Berlin

Meanwhile in Berlin

Who is this new guy?

Do you like him?

I don't know.

He is German?

American.

On vacation?

No, he lives here.

He studies?

No.

Works?

No, not really.

So why did he move here?

I don't know.

He likes here.

I never knew any

Americans to move to Europe.

I think all the people

want to go to America.

Maybe something is wrong with him.

Is it so hard to understand

Once I was a woman

Now I am your man

What is so hard

to comprehend

What mother nature gave me

I gave back again

Don't be so juvenile

The choice here lover dear

Was never yours it's mine

The fact of the

fiction is this

I won't wear the body

if the body doesn't fit

Do you know Gloria Vagra?

She's great.

A little bit over the

top, but aren't we all?

Have you ever thought about doing drag?

Yes, I did.

But have you ever actually done it?

No, not yet.

But I'm only here a few months.

Well I love drag.

My favorite is Candy Darling,

oh god, she's fabulous.

I mean, she's this Andy

Warhol superstar, glamorous,

but I would actually refer

to her being a real woman

than a drag queen.

Really, you've thought about doing drag?

Yes.

Sometimes I feel like a woman.

What did you mean

when you said you felt like a woman?

I don't know.

I just never really feel

like a man, you know?

But what can I do?

Are you trans?

I don't know.

Human spirit is complicated, no?

Take it away

What you used to

know, know, know

I have seen

Is your friend one of those

women you were talking about?

What women?

The trans woman.

Mika?

Yeah, she is.

You enjoying the show?

Yes.

I didn't know people like this exist.

Like who?

Like Mika.

Yeah?

I had dreams where I look like her.

She's great.

And I've had dreams where

I sleep with boys like you.

You don't really want to

sleep with me, do you?

I do.

I'm sorry, it's just

the last couple of weeks

have been so confusing.

Three euro.

Thank you.

Ooh, they look lovely.

I think I'll take, no no no no, no.

Maybe this one?

I'll take a pink one.

Okay.

Okay.

Thank you.

I'm trying to sell the

film rights on your book.

It's very, very difficult

but possibly we are lucky.

It will be a lot of money.

I can imagine someone like

Gregg Araki directing it.

Yeah, we'll see, you

know, but first you have to

write the book.

I hear you are all over the

sex clubs and don't write.
