La directora de cine Rosa von Praunheim, procedente de Letonia, y especializada en cine documental, se acerca al universo creativo del famoso dibujante de cómics alemán Ralf Köning que, a finales de los ochenta, se hizo un hueco en el mundillo underground gracias a un trabajo con el que consiguió mucha repercusión internacional: "El hombre deseado" (que más tarde se convertiría en película). Köning otorgaba a sus viñetas un aire desinhibido y gamberro, hablaba de temas delicados sin ningún tipo de tapujos y se acercó a los tabúes (especialmente las relaciones homosexuales, la promiscuidad y el sida) aportando un toque de humor.
