20 years after his successful documentary SURVIVAL IN NEW YORK, Rosa von Praunheim returns to the city, in which he had the most exciting time of his life.

Remembering his own experiences in the wild seventies, when New York City was characterized by sexual liberation and eccentric individuals, and recollecting the big changes in the eighties when AIDS started to take its toll, Rosa meets his former protagonists and goes on a personal journey to discover what has become of “his” New York.
