Zurück auf Los! (2000)

Directed by: Pierre Sanoussi-Bliss

After Sam, a penniless Afro-German singer, discovers he’s HIV positive, he gets utterly drunk, spends a few miserable days, but promptly falls (back) in love. Amidst a crumbling former East Berlin, Sam develops a “family” for the new millenium, for the new generation of post-drug cocktail AIDS victims. The fragile “family” he forms includes his on-again-off-again boyfriend Rainer, and his best friend Bastl with his latest fling, Mike. The whole group lives from day to day, helping, supporting, and caring for each other.
