Hotel Straussberg

Jan Soldat / Germany / 2014 / Czech Premiere / 27 min.


synopsis

A three-day observation of a German military boot camp. This is neither a hotel nor a comfort zone, but a military-flavored prison, and his gay guests can be chained before they get disciplined. To outsiders, the scenery seem bizarre – but as always, it helps to recognize the peculiarities.

DETAIL:

“In one month the hair grows around one centimeter. I just got a clean shave. On the zero scale.”
“Yeah, I really like it. Have you even been hit in the face?”
„Looking like this, no, I haven’t. Although I’d like to.“
