HEIMAT XXX tells us about a gay mystical heimat-porn. Between the awakening of spring and musty oak forests, it summons a saturnalia of sweaty bodies.

The images of the movie oscillate from misty-eyed sights on romantic nature to harsh industrial rigidity.

The two parts of the movie correspond with the two seasons: spring and summer, showing vibrating bodies in unison with nature and her metamorphosis. Along the way, aesthetic parallels between the human body and their ever-changing surroundings are explored. From the spring of first romantic feelings to the outburst of raw sexual humiliation – Sebastian Dominic Auer  shows the phases of gay sexuality that become a symbol of the ambivalence of life, being showed against the background of rise and fall of nature.

The film should be understood as a postmodern comment on the paradigms of the German romanticist movement. The forest of the Heimat, a central point of the romantic idea, is the place where alike flesh meets and unites in a wild rush.

It shifts the known formations of the meaning of Heimat. Fostering a depetrification of the cliché and transcending the Kitsch, a second narrative layer brings the world of dream onto the plot. In this other world, old Germanic myths are interwoven with nightmarish visions that abstract into hallucination. This depiction of the unconscious changes the interrelations between the worlds of the inside and the outside, so that reality and phantasms intertwine. Through this narrative modus, in bringing Amor and Psyche together, new constellations become thinkable and new meanings considering the relations of the self and the other, myth and reality, illusion and substance open up and give us a new perspective on the meaning that Heimat can have.

The soundtrack of the movie has been exclusive produced by the Munich Techno Duo ‘Zenker Brothers’.

“Set against the backdrop of a picturesque mountain landscape, HEIMAT XXX lets a horny gay couple loose in the lonely woods of an unnamed wanderlust resort. To the booming techno sounds of an urban club, and cut against humming bees and details of flowers, the film ironically deconstructs tropes of nature, home, masculinity and German Romanticism. Director Sebastian Dominic Auer made a tongue-in-cheek porn film that manages to be artistic and entertaining at the same time.”

“For the contemporary treatment of the images, the accurate photography, the Teutonic esoterism that glorify the fusion between bodies and nature.”
