Frank Ripploh's TAXI ZUM KLO Limited Engagement

ABOUT THE FILM:

By day, Frank is a dedicated schoolteacher. By night, he embraces the sexual freedoms of the city’s underground scene—navigating a double life in public restrooms, cinemas, and cruising spots. When he meets Bernd, a sweet and steady museum worker, Frank finds himself torn between the comfort of domestic partnership and the allure of anonymous desire. Unapologetically explicit and deeply personal, TAXI ZUM KLO shattered taboos upon its release and remains a landmark of queer cinema. Shot with unfiltered candor and infused with a distinctively wry humor, Ripploh’s film continues to resonate for its fearless exploration of identity, intimacy, and freedom.
