Toto

Universitätsring 2

1010 Wien

 

A bizarre road trip and a bitter coming-of-age story: In 1966, a baby without a recognizable gender is born in an East German delivery room. The mother quickly decides it is a boy, names him Toto and dies. In a children's home, Toto learns what it means for him to be: the environment encounters him with exclusion, rejection and violence. After the fall of communism, Toto ends up in a red light district, falls in love with his childhood home sweetheart Kasimir again and again, becomes a woman - and dies at the end of the journey, because that's what people do. Thank you for life.
