After sharing a kiss while inside a 24-hour dance club, Berliner Johannes and weekend visitor Harry meet outside, and Johannes offers to show Harry around, on Harry's last day in town. In between various incidents, they explore their pasts, their dreams, and their divergent life philosophies, even if they both enjoy dancing in a music booth to an instrumental Ode to Joy..
This film reminds me of Paris: 05:59: Theo and Hugo, except that it is 2/3rd the length, and the incidents more random, so it gets a lower rating. I did like the double bookends: the (ironically selected) song Please Don't Go for the opening dance sequence and final credits, and within that the bathroom scenes.
I was very happy to see this in digital format, at the Inside Out 2SLGBTQ+ film festival. Not only could I rewind / re-view, but I turned on the optional extra subtitles (for when Johannes was not speaking German) and found out more of what was going on. By also paying close attention to the end credits, I finally figured out Harry's opening scene.
