My Friend the Porn Star

Rosa Friedrich was never that interested in porn, until her friend Timo expresses a wish to star in an erotic film. So she agrees to help him get his project off the ground. However, the closer it gets to the shooting date, the more Timo feels embarrassed and doubtful about being involved in the first place. His face is ultimately replaced with the help of AI, and Rosa, together with a dominatrix, three trans women, a food-porn creator, a sex coach and other protagonists, continues with the film.

Closed for the Virus Break

March 2020: João, an HIV-positive Brazilian living in Vienna, has no one to spend lockdown with. Isolated in his one-room apartment, he looks down at the strangely empty streets. While his boyfriend Tom only sporadically checks in from somewhere far away and an online date contracts Covid before they can meet, João's imagination confronts him with a past he would rather not face.
