The filmmakers Jutta Riedel and Mirek Balonis = TRAWA Film Cologne
Jutta's first great love was a bisexual actor who died of AIDS. She has been friends with two Bollenmädels since the mid-80s.
Mirek grew up in liberal Gdansk and has lived in Cologne since 1990. He is frustrated with the homophobia in today's Poland. Dirndls look good on him too.
