Threadbare

CONTENT WARNING:
A big transgender body dons and sheds a closetful of sweaters at maximum speed. Meanwhile, the character remembers - through tragicomic poetry - an inter-generational relationship that went awry many years ago. When the film begins, the character is remembering his former lover, who remarked that her favourite sweater was older than he was. By the film's end, however, the narrative has propelled the character from a forlorn past into a dandy future, all on the wings of verse and subversive fashion.

CONTENT WARNING:
A beautiful, young woman in desperate need of love musters up the courage to go on her first internet date - but unfortunately her date and her don't see eye to eye.

in person
Come and enjoy the New England Premiere of this great comedy. Colourful balloon dresses, long party nights in Berlin’s trendy clubs and erotic evenings on the dining table – this is the chaotic relationship of the unequal couple of Ernst and Tobias. Though opposites attract, respectable banker Ernst is often unsure, whether bubbly and always cheerful Tobias takes their relationship as seriously as he does. Soon they rise to a challenge of every relationship: everyday living together and mutual trust. The sudden appearance of Uta, Ernst’s eccentric school friend, fundamentally changes their relationship. Uta forges out a scheming plan, which Ernst completely falls for. Together with his friends, Tobias spares no efforts to checkmate the unwelcome guest as soon as possible – and sets events in motion that increasingly get out of control.   To date, the German gay movie was mostly limited to coming out stories of young men. “Men to kiss” charmingly proves that homosexuality can play another role in gay movie and replaces common clichés with authentic everyday stories. “Men to kiss”: an entertaining comedy about love, friendship and Berlin, full of vivid dialogues and emotional moments, that captivates the viewer with its taking characters from the first minutes on.
The gay couple Tobi and Ernie are being visited by Ernie’s old friend Uta. What at first looks like an innocent house-call, turns into an insidious attack on the couple’s relationship.
