As long as you are here
Solange Du Hier Bist
Stefan Westerwelle
Georg leads a totally isolated and lonely life. Sebastian, a young male prostitute, is one of Georg's few remaining chances to break through his hermit-like everyday life in exchange for a– at least for a few hours. Georg loves Sebastian's easy-going and playful manner. He loves the absurd stories that the boy spontaneously comes up with and Georg never knows whether to actually believe all of them or not. His whole life is in the few fleeting moments of being together with him. And it looks like today Georg's long cherished dream will finally come true: this time the boy asks him if he can stay overnight – of his own free will.
