Lukas, 20, is a prisoner in his own body. As a pre-op transgendered person, he is constantly finding himself trapped in uncomfortable, compromising positions. His best friend, Ine introduces him to the gay scene in Cologne where he meets the confident and gorgeous, Fabio. The two develop a romantic relationship that tests the boundaries of love. ROMEOS forgoes stereotypes and conventions to offer an honest and humorous examination of the most basic of human conditions: friendship, sex, and love.

Notes
I probably first saw this film about 2013, but I apparently was interupted in my viewing, as the last half of the movie was new to me this viewing (2016) -- I really liked it -- Interestingly, I didn't find any mainstream reviews -- but no mind, the reviews at IMDb are worth visiting -- Acting is superb -- While cinematography is pretty much as one might expect in what was probaably a relatively low budget film, it does not distract from the fine script and performances -- As is common with many films, not enough attention has been given to the readability of the captions, which are diffficult to read at some points.
