Taxi to the Toilet
Alternative title: Taxi zum Klo

Directed by Frank Ripploh

Frank, balancing his public-school teaching with a hidden nightlife seeking anonymous intimacy, navigates a turbulent relationship with Bernd amid conflicting desires for stability and adventure.
Taxi to the Toilet is frank, funny and defiantly unromantic about gay life in early-1980s West Berlin. Frank Ripploh turns his own experiences into a sexually explicit, semi-autobiographical comedy that can be abrasive but rarely feels dishonest. Its unapologetic depiction of cruising, relationships and contradiction makes it a significant and still startling German gay film.
