A retired gay sex worker wants to get into politics. Leading a cosmopolitan and queer life, he is not the typical ‘little man’, but an intellectual without a university degree and bon vivant with addiction problems. Born a German Christian, he now lives as a Jewish Israeli in Tel Aviv and Berlin, in a relationship with a young Shanghainese man whose seemingly endless wealth provides for his dissolute lifestyle. GOLDHAMMER looks behind the facade of a millennial on his way to becoming a populist and traces a turbulent biography that could hardly be any more contradictory, but for that very reason seems to suit our times perfectly.
