More is not always more. Or is it? The metal splinter in Fenix's shoulder hurts more with every setback. Fenix survived an armed attack on the queer local café and has been struggling to catch his breath ever since. Between fighting spirit and fear, Fenix radically demands clarification. But the response to Fenix's uncompromising attitude is hatred and further threats, until even Fenix's own community stands in his way.

Mercedes, 18 ans, jeune et solitaire, se rend pour la première fois de sa vie au légendaire festival techno "Heimat". Elle espère y vivre des expériences de proximité, de joie et d'intensité.

Professional provocateur and artist Maven Shegula has returned to Berlin after a hiatus in Zürich. She’s back to celebrate her 50th birthday, and to appear on a popular German talk show. As she wanders the streets of Berlin with her girlfriend and friend, it becomes apparent that being an artist in this city is no longer acceptable. The humming nightlife has disappeared, and the vibrant creative community pushed to the margins of society. The film is alive with tension, both sexual and otherwise. As Maven’s story unfolds on live television, we learn about her son, her politics, her heritage, and her alter-ego Rosa who champions radical self-expression and feminism. The interview is dispersed with beautiful volcanic eruptions from Maven that act as both a denunciation of the city’s leadership and a love letter to Berlin.
