Schmuck der Straße

Directed by Dirk Manthey

The Jewelry of the Street, that's Eva, Kelly, Chiqui and many other transwomen from Latin America who live in Schmuckstraße on St. Pauli. They have come to Hamburg because they cannot live and work as freely in their home country as they can here. The house on Schmuckstraße and Donatella's bar are the first port of call for transsexual men in the Hanseatic city. Behind the inconspicuous Gründerzeit facade, just a few meters away from the glitter of the Reeperbahn and the neon lights of the Große Freiheit, they have found a home for their very special female microcosm.
