Frank Ripploh is a bit of a rascal: he is a bearded and shaggy-haired teacher, gay and has a very active sex life, plus an interest in making films. Frank keeps his personal life and professional life separate. Sometimes he corrects student papers in public toilets as he waits to score. He cruises constantly. One evening, he meets Bernd and they become lovers. While Bernd is attentive and caring, Frank gets bored with him and continues his polymorphous perverse ways. For how long will Bernd and Frank tolerate each other's habits, and for how long can Frank keep his sexual orientation outside of the classroom? Things 'come to a head' (no pun intended) during Berlin's annual Queen's Ball and the morning after.
