Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Romeos (German: Romeos ...anders als du denkst!) is a 2011 film about Lukas, a trans man in the earlier stages of his transition. When he moves to Cologne to do his year of community service, he meets Fabio, a Hot-Blooded, promiscuous gay man. Fabio is everything Lukas wants to be - strong, tough, and completely free with his body. His admiration quickly becomes attraction, and Fabio himself is also drawn to the handsome, withdrawn Lukas. They begin to fall in love, but Lukas rejects his advances, believing that if Fabio finds out about his body it'll all be over. Meanwhile, Lukas tries to navigate testosterone shots, sexy parties, and keeping his secret; and generally makes life difficult for his best friend Ine, a lesbian without much luck in love who's tired of having to support Lukas through his transition without receiving any help in return. Will Lukas end up alone?Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Considered especially notable for its protagonist (films about trans men are exceedingly rare, and gay trans men unheard of) and the realism of his transition.

comment
Distaff Counterpart: Lukas witnesses a confident and beautiful trans woman (or drag queen) performing as an operatic soprano in spite of the mean-spirited, transphobic whispers about her.

comment
Cast Full of Gay: Since it takes place in the LGBT community of Cologne, nearly all the characters are gay, lesbian and trans. All of the main ones are.

Can't Have Sex, Ever
 Romeos / int_eee99653
comment
Can't Have Sex, Ever: Lukas can't, due to anxiety over potential sex partners' reacting poorly to his body. Nor can he wear less than three layers, or take off his shirt at the beach. At the end he overcomes this with Fabio.

All Gays are Promiscuous: A source of angst considering this is a privilege Lukas does not have.
