Lose Your Head
(2013)Like thousands of other young tourists, Luis (Fernando Tielve) arrives in Berlin from Madrid fresh from his break-up with his boyfriend, looking to party the pain away within Berlin's infamous club scene. However, Luis' uncanny resemblance to a missing young Greek student gets him involved with a strange and elusive Russian (Marko Mandić), who may or may not know the whereabouts of the missing young man.
