Prince in Hell

The connection between the protagonists' homosexual lifestyle and the seedy underworld of Berlin's drug-using nightlife crowd in the Kreuzberg neighborhood is explored in this melodramatic story. In the film, Stefan (Stefan Laarman) and Jockel (Michael Stock) are both vying for the attentions of Micha (Andreas Stadler), a handsome young man. They are all involved in the filmmaking business, and Jockel is deeply immersed in heroin use. Stefan hopes to keep the younger man from getting involved at that level, but is unsuccessful. The story is told in the midst of a chaotic social climate, rife with gay bashings and marauding neo-Nazi skinheads.
