Desire Will Set You Free Page #5

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. Our characters travel through Berlin's layered history and unique subcultural landscape; on their adventures they discover influences and remnants of the Weimar Republic, WWII, the Bowie years, and punk. Many original Berlin personalities play themselves and the locations are all real Berlin locations. The film features performances by the queen of punk Nina Hagen, electro star Peaches, Brooklyn's Blood Orange, German sensation Rummelsnuff, rapper Sookee, Einstürzende Neubauten's Blixa Bargeld;  and Wolfgang Müller, plus cast members Amber Benson (of Buffy the

You're like a little nervous chihuahua.

You're such a drama queen.

I'd rather be a drama queen then a doll.

Did you read that New York

Times article about Berlin?

Yes, and it's true,

Berlin, it's dead, it's over.

It's not happening anymore.

It's not what it used to be.

Detroit, New Orleans.

I'm gonna buy a house in Bucharest.

I think the idea of wild dogs

roaming around the streets

is very romantic.

It is romantic.

Yeah.

I can see it.

Sasha.

Ezra.

Hi.

Congratulations on your new book.

Thanks.

You look different.

Yeah?

I could hardly recognize you.

Where are you going?

Just having a walk.

Can I come with?

Sure.

Do you wanna stop and smoke a cigarette?

Sure.

Thanks, I'm fine.

You were never

attracted to me, were you?

You were using me.

Ezra.

I liked you.

It's okay, it's fine.

Ezra.

Ezra, stop it!

Hello.

Hey, Sasha, I got an advance on my book.

Can I take you out to dinner?

Jayne?

Ezra.

Yeah, are you with Sasha?

No, Sasha's not here.

She had to go back to Russia.

But.

Please don't ever call here again.

Twat.

Hi.

Hey Cat.

Wanna go out for some bloody Marys?

Maybe just one.

Okay, I'm coming by.

And maybe I can access you.

Your birth, your youth, your

motherhood, your old age,

your death.

I'm ripe to access you entirely.

And I told you not to come

And I told you not to come

And I told you

And I told you not to come

I told you not to come

I told you

In my nightlife

I don't think twice

Everything is so nice

Loving the luxury

of the nightlife

Everything is alright

Blinded by the headlights

Driving past midnight

Looks like a still life

Give me something cheap

Not enough sleep

Which one do I keep

You are my nightlife

Night light

Bright light

Hold tight

Turn right

Turn left

Like death

Bright light

Night light

In my nightlife I

don't think twice

Everything is so nice

Loving the luxury

of the nightlife

Everything is alright

Blinded by the headlights

Driving past midnight

Looks like a still life

Give me something cheap

Not enough sleep

Which one do I keep

You are my nightlife

In my nightlife

I don't think twice

Everything is so nice

Loving the luxury

of the nightlife

Everything is alright

Blinded by the headlights

Driving past midnight

Looks like a still life

Give me something cheap

Not enough sleep

Which one do I keep

You are my nightlife
