CONTENT WARNING:

Set in the immediate and random background of today’s London. THE COMEDIAN is a fresh, dramatic and funny debut feature about choices and how not to make them.

This film is presented in with English subtitles.

Ed is at a crossroads in his life. His unrewarding job is getting more frustrating, and his career as a stand-up is not taking off. In fact, he’s starting to acknowledge he might not be a very good comedian. His love life begins to look promising when he meets artist Nathan, a gorgeous younger man. Yet Ed’s feelings are conflicted when he is drawn to his female flatmate. The Comedian is a funny and touching film, presenting characters who are recognizable and real.

Zurich: 1958. Bashful teacher Ernst Ostertag and cabaret artist Robi Rapp get to know one another in the Swiss underground organization called “Der Kreis.” (The Circle). As the men defend their love, they witness the heyday and decline of this Europe-wide pioneering organization for gay emancipation. This documentary uncovers the fascinating universe of one of the first gay liberation communities. Enriched by impressive conversational records with Ernst Ostertag and Röbi Rapp, the film depicts a decades-long love story and reveals the couple’s inspiring self-knowledge and courage.

A young teacher in Zurich in the 1950s falls in love with a transvestite star but is torn between his bourgeois existence and his commitment to homosexuality. He joins a gay organization that is eventually seen as the pioneer of gay emancipation in Europe.
