Frank Ripploh’s groundbreaking autobiographical debut offers a vivid, uncompromising portrait of queer life in West Berlin at the dawn of the 1980s. By day, Frank is a dedicated schoolteacher. By night, he embraces the sexual freedoms of the city’s underground scene—navigating a double life in public restrooms, cinemas, and cruising spots. When he meets Bernd, a sweet and steady museum worker, Frank finds himself torn between the comfort of domestic partnership and the allure of anonymous desire. Unapologetically explicit and deeply personal, Taxi Zum Klo shattered taboos upon its release and remains a landmark of queer cinema.
