Hotte im Paradies
Women, Rolex, Jaguar. Hotte wants to be a big noise in Berlin´s red light milieu.
Both his women hustle in the money and he spends it lavishly as he goes through the highs
and lows of a scene governed by it´s own laws.
Hotte slowly works his way up gaining respect as he goes.
He buys a third girl, Jenny, and the money pours in enabling him to enjoy
the life of luxury complete with convertible sports car and fat gold watch.
But then he starts making mistakes, losing his women and the respect of his fellow pimps.
He attempts to use all and any means necessary to maintain his status,
losing all his scruples along the way.
Hotte moves into the loser´s lane and nearly pays for his dream of paradise with his life.
