The place: the outskirts of Hamburg, a flat, 2 rooms, a kitchen, a bathroom. The time: one day and the passing night. Wolfgang "Wolli" Köhler, former porn-cinema and brothel founder turned poet and illustrator, lives here with his wife, Linda. Scenes of cohabitation. Scenes of a life together. Reminiscences of an existence that has led them from Waldheim in Saxony to St. Pauli in Hamburg. Insights into the abject wretchedness of the sex industry. The underworld of covert backyard meetings before the coming of AIDS. Prejudices are undermined, preconceptions challenged. Wolli takes a trip down his own personal "memory lane."

But between big oil companies like British Petroleum and the corrupt government lining their pockets, what does this mean for the ordinary people of Azerbaijan? Is this "liquid gold" more of a curse than a blessing for the troubled country?
