"Director Yung shows how stereotypes and preconceived ideas can lead to disappointment, frustration, and an unexpected romance. The film is really two shorter related subjects combined in one short. Part one humorously explores his travels to Germany in search of the perfect German boyfriend and his realizations that fantasies never quite meet one's expectations. Part two is a more serious study of the film maker's efforts to complete his film and follow the story line he had plotted out while not getting lost in a confusing inner struggle between desired fantasy and his own reality. ..."
