Sex is power, and Waseem, a Syrian gay-for-pay hustler seeking asylum in Cologne, wields it like a shield. Keeping his johns at an emotional arm’s length while satisfying their most carnal desires in order to eke out a living, he meets his match in Lars: a kind, affluent professional with a growing personal interest in Waseem. This gripping tale of transactional identity explores the tactical exchange of trust and intimacy in a partnership, and the divisions between immigrants and their host countries in contemporary Europe.

Kuntergrau is a german web series telling the story of five open-minded gay friends on the threshold of adulthood. We are invited in their daily life as they are experimenting the meaning of friendship, sex, love and boundaries in a small circle. Far from a coming out scenario, Kuntergrau bluntly addresses the heart of the matter without making any detour about its gayness.
