Everything is new: 20-year-old Lukas starts his community service and moves to the big city. However, the fact that he is assigned a room in the nurses' home and not in the community service home makes the start particularly difficult. Because he is in the middle of his gender reassignment. His girlfriend Ine supports him and takes him into Cologne's party life and the gay and lesbian scene. When Lukas falls in love with the attractive, macho Fabio, his situation becomes even more complicated.
"Romeos" is not only a film about the coming of age of a young trans man, but also a film about love, friendship and the search for identity, far removed from conventional role clichés.
Film discussion afterwards with: Marcel-Jana Urban, film student at the ifs International Film School Cologne and "Sprecher*in von queer@filmschule.de".
