"Malik" (Lamin Leroy Gibba) invites his pal "Phillip" (Til Schindler) round for some kinky nookie and accidentally loses the keys to the handcuffs that are attaching his arm to the bed! In the next ten minutes they put his pants back on and then have a whirlwind series of fairly frenetic conversations about Nazis, bigotry, racism - just about everything pertinent to their predicament and their respective races. The topic is all the more resonant as the film takes place in Germany where, even now, attentions still look backwards as well as forwards. The performances are fine and the dialogue, though maybe a bit wordy, offers us an interesting gist of a drama making for something that's worth a watch.
