Berliner Bettwurst

Lured by a furnishing loan, Luzi and Dietmar move to West Berlin and marry in the Gedächtniskirche. But after a Mallorca vacation, the young marriage crumbles. Dietmar falls victim to a headband-wearing seducer at a snack bar, who introduces him to narcotics. Drunk and stoned, he follows the transvestite Sonja to the sex commune to listen to his life story. "Praunheim's art here consists not in the artificiality of his arrangements, but in the affection for his characters, with which he transforms the voyeuristic basic situation into sympathy from the audience as well. "(Süddeutsche)
