Naive young Franz meets Leopold, a prosperous businessman much older than him, on the street. Leopold invites the young man to live with him. A stormy romance breaks out between them. But it soon turns into a nightmare of "married life", when the partners are connected only by the bed. Franz turns into a frightened "housewife wife" who is constantly clinging to a "despotic husband" who is looking for a reason to quarrel... A funny bad movie, made under the influence of Almodovar, who always has natural transitions from banter to tragedy. The film begins as a cool and frank homosexual comedy, and ends as a sexist one - about the fact that the world is ruled by the male principle.
