123' - 1975 - Crime, Drama, Romance - Dialogue: German, French, English
Director: Rainer Werner Fassbinder Composer: Peer Raben With: Peter Chatel, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Karlheinz Böhm

In this dark examination of love and money, Fox (Rainer Werner Fassbinder) is a young, gay member of the German working class. When he meets the older and dapper Max, who has upper-class roots, Fox thinks he may have found someone to help him out, but Max refuses to do so. However, this changes when Fox wins big on the lottery, and Max becomes friendlier and helps to reinvent Fox. But, in fact, Max and his friends are slyly trying to swindle him out of his new fortune.
