"Through and through in the broken environment of desires. Hustlers, transvestites, the mentally ill, alcoholics. That's where I feel at home. That's the world that needs to be captured."
When the artist and photographer Jürgen Baldiga died of the consequences of AIDS in 1993, he left behind what was probably the most extensive body of work on HIV, AIDS, homosexuality, and subculture in West Berlin in the 1980s and 1990s. The film tells the story of the artist in all his contradictions and provides an insight into a Berlin subculture that would have been forgotten without him. It is the portrait of a unique artist - at a time when an HIV infection was not only a certain death sentence, but also led to a renewed stigmatization of gay lifestyles.
