No Dogs Allowed

Since 15-year-old Gabo has known about his paedophilic tendencies, he has tried to control and hide his needs.

He confides neither to his friends nor to his mother or sister – the fear of the reactions is too great.

He finds support and a listening ear in online chat forums, where he also meets the much older Dave. However, Dave takes advantage of Gabo’s insecurity and a toxic power dynamic develops. When Dave is suddenly arrested by the police on suspicion of abusing minors, Gabo has to make a decision.

Ann Kathrin Klaasen and Frank Weller have made it: they get married in a small civil ceremony at the Norder Teemuseum. In the evening there is a lively atmosphere at the traditional Easter bonfire on the beach.

Dr. Rüdiger Baer and Dr. Bernd von Neubert, colleagues and friends of Gregor, also end up at the escort service. The corresponding confusion is thus pre-programmed, but after some back and forth, all misunderstandings dissolve into nothing.
