Romeos (DVD)

July 7, 2012 By Tim Isaac 2 Comments

Starring: Rick Okon, Liv Lisa Fries, Maximilian Befort
Director: Sabine Bernardi
Running Time: 94 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: July 9th 2012

Earlier this year, Tomboy was released, which saw a pre-adolescent taken in by a new group of friends who believe he’s a boy, even though he was born female. Romeos takes a similar theme, but moves the story into young adulthood, with a character who’s already started the transition from female to male.

Lukas (Rick Okon) is a pre-op transsexual who is taking hormones but is yet to have surgical gender reassignment. He heads off for a social service year to a place where only one person knows him, his lesbian friend Ine (Liv Lisa Fries), who used to know him as Mimi and has been by his side during the early stages of his transition. However nobody else is aware of Lukas earlier life, and while bureaucracy means he’s assigned to the female living block, everyone assumes he was born a man. [Read more…]

Romeos Trailer – Not your typical boy meets boy story

April 10, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


A tale of star-crossed lovers with a difference, Sabine Bernardi’s richly textured ode to teenage love takes a fresh and unique look at a romantic encounter that transcends boundaries. When 20-year-old Lukas arrives in Cologne, a summer of late nights, clubs heaving with hot guys and insurmountable self-discovery awaits. You see, Lukas has a heavy secret that he has chosen to leave behind, and best friend Ine knows this too well. Like most young adults their age, the pair indulge in parties and alcohol with abandon, helping Lukas to overcome what makes him different from everyone else. However, when hunky neighbourhood catch Fabio appears, a heated attraction between the two boys gradually develops — until Fabio accesses the secret of Lukas’s identity. Despite their differences, will love conquer all? The film reaches DVD in the UK on June 25th.
