This is an intense first film by actual German twins following their identity crisis. The boys, transformed by the usual down-trodden socio-economic conditions of contemporary Europe, become skin heads; one following the first one's lead. Thereafter, tough, the second one discovers that he is gay, and binds with a guy who is not only gay but a leftist to boot. This arouses the first twin's wrath. The film offers some of the best evidence of homophobic violence by skinheads, and the whole relationship between the skinhead and gay movements (in Germany gay skinheads represent a substantial subculture).
