Desire Will Set You Free Page #2

Synopsis: Desire Will Set You Free is a feature film that explores life in contemporary Berlin with an often critical and sometimes humorous eye. Based on a true story, the plot follows the relationship of an American writer of Israeli/Palestinian descent and a Russian aspiring artist working as a hustler, offering access to the city's vibrant queer and underground scenes while examining the differences between expatriate and refugee life.

Many original Berlin personalities play themselves and the locations are all real Berlin locations.

Jayne, don't give it to me, okay?

I didn't do anything.

Why are you always so

nervous and so uptight?

Like, look, I understand you, okay?

I understand you.

I think we're just, we're trying to work

as emotional beings.

And that we should just be

open to whomever or whatever

comes across or enlightens our desires.

All we can do is hope

that it's reciprocated.

And with you it is.

I reciprocate your love.

What?

I can't do this

non-monogamous thing with you.

I love you.

I do, I love you.

I respect and care and love you, okay?

Give me a kiss.

Oh, you ruined them.

Oh, it's wet.

All I really really

really really really

Really really

really want to see

Is a total eclipse

of the sun

All I really really

really really really

Really really

really want to see

Is a total eclipse

of the sun

Says everyone

Just the birds are

silent with surprise

All I really really

really really really

Really really

really want to see

Is a total eclipse

of the sun

She was a

crazy Nazi sympathizer.

Uh huh.

She was British.

British, yes, I know her.

She was totally in love with...

Yeah yeah yeah, she

was a very arrogant lady.

Yeah.

Did you know that Bette

Midler bought all the parks

in New York City?

She has so much money that every park

is now a Bette Midler park.

I heard you stuck seven

hits of p*ssy up your acid.

Oh yeah.

On the seventh day I'm

like f***ing wigging out

because every day for seven

days I took a hit of acid

and decided okay, this is the seventh day,

I put seven in my vagina.

But I had recently read

a sh*t-ton on Babylon,

the Tower of Babylon, big phallus,

and that's like how you can

control people with...

It just works perfectly with

the concept of the muse,

like musing each other

instead of using each other.

And I developed that after

discovering that the internet

was actually my vehicle of sending love,

and I can send it through my vagina,

which is now accessible to everyone.

A caged bird doesn't sing

But my wings have

been clipped

And I couldn't see a thing

All I needed was protection

And you were right

there for me

Your love got me lifted

So high in the sky

I'm free

To fly

'Cause it's just be shamed for so long.

I'm free to fly

Finally free to fly

I'm free to fly

She came 'cause she

was having a threesome

with my flatmate Nick and his girlfriend.

Really?

Yeah.

And like we met her and

there was just like screaming

outside when we were walking.

And then when did?

Yeah it was just like

screaming from outside

of the building, and we go inside

and this like gazelle-looking

woman come out and it's her.

Wow.

Yeah.

I like that.

Yeah.

That's how we met.

I wanna look like a gazelle.

Maybe you do.

Good.

But I feel more like a horse.

But you look more

like a beautiful horse.

Okay.

Schne Pferde.

No, not in German.

That blonde boy

inside's pretty cute.

I thought you were over

your leftist straight boy fetish.

You loved a nation

Declare your need

You sweep my floor

Love that you do

So.

Tell me more about Africa.

I lived there until I was 10

and I had my own horse and

I had my own little cheetah.

Really?

You had a cheetah?

Yes, and it stayed with us.

Hey Sasha.

Hi.

How's it going?

I'm drinking with a friend.

Let's talk later.

Okay.

So, you want to go?

Yes, let's do it.

It's all still there

Where goes the night

Our summers

Play on repeat

Where goes the night

In stealth

Stands a kiss

From an ancient time

The conquers gone unseen

So you're still here?

Yeah, I was waiting for you.

I'm working.

Can we talk?

What do you want to talk?

I'm working.

Okay look I can be done in a couple hours.

Will you still be around?

Yeah, I can come back.

The guys at the bar can't know.

What are you talking about?

Look if we are going to be friends

you cannot come to my work.

You understand?

Okay.

My friend kicked me out of his house.

So where are you staying?

The hotel.

And how are you affording that?

Work more.

If you want you could

just go to my house

and pass out or whatever, listen to music.

Okay.

I'm tired.

Good, everything's good,

it's good to see you guys.

Mom, you have nothing to worry about.

Yeah, I think a visit's

like a really good idea,

you guys'll have a really great time here.

But right now I actually

have to go, it's really good

to see you guys, okay?

Bye.

Your parents sound nice.

Did you hear that some

Neo Nazis raided QB?

Bastards.

Are they okay?

Those classless brutes

should have some respect

for Berlin culture.

I hope that all the dykes

kicked the sh*t out of them.

Since when did all these

Scandinavian artsy types

become so gay?

And they must have come

along with all the British

Dotcommers, right Conner?

I'm not even British, Catherine.

So why did you move to Berlin?

Because you know at the

end of Liquid Sky the movie

the two lesbians ditch

Manhattan for Berlin.

Otto knows what I'm talking about.

Ezra, don't you think we already have

too many Canadians in town?

I like the Canadians.

What's your background?

My mom's from Palestine, my

dad's an Israeli German Jew.

You decided to come to Germany

instead of go to the Middle East?

He wanted to indulge in his white roots.

Not his brown ones.

Thank you.

You okay?

Yeah.

It's my friend.

He won't let me come pick my things.

Why not?

I don't know, he is mad.

Wanna go get something to eat?

I don't have any money.

You don't have to go to work all week?

No.

Mo?

Mole.

Mole!

Mole McHenry, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.

Oh my god I will never be

able to adopt an Asian child.

I don't know, some people,

I just don't get their vibe.

And it's kinda a creepy vibe.

And it happens once every 20 people.

And it's not about how they look.

Is that Ezra's?

Yeah.

Yeah.

'Cause we need an

office space but we can't

find an office space 'cause

no one has an office job.

No, she was really nice, she's funny.

She's got a kind of...

Yeah.

Biting way about her.

I'm Jayne, I'm Catherine's girlfriend.

Hi.

Hi.

It's more Catherine's friends,

I mean there's some people

and girlfriends and

stuff but I don't know.

I'm really glad I can't

speak German sometimes.

Do you think about

me when you f*** her

I love the way she says

that though, when ya f*** her.

How does this guy f*** her?

He fucks her.

I f*** her.

F*** her.

Don't be upset, don't be upset,

don't be upset, don't be upset!

I love you, I love you!

You'll wanna

be here with everybody

and you'll stay all

night and you'll end up

really shitfaced...

No.

And then be like no get

to me 'cause I can't even

have sex with you 'cause

you're totally unconscious.

It's a shame Berlin's tearing down

all its beautiful Nazi

architecture, don't you think?

Meanwhile in Berlin

Meanwhile in Berlin

Meanwhile in Berlin

Meanwhile in Berlin

Who is this new guy?

Do you like him?

I don't know.

No.
