In order to gain the trust of a drug dealer, undercover cop Robert has to pretend to be Leni‘s lover. The police hope her ties with the felon will help to infiltrate the organization. But while this part of the plan works relatively smoothly, their fake relationship is rocky from the start. Leni is trans, and Robert was once in love with her former self. Ironically it is Victor, the drug dealer, who will make Robert confront his conflicting feelings of love. Silver Bear for Best Supporting Performance for Thea Ehre at the 2023 Berlinale.
