ErOddity(s) 2 follows the lives of several gay youths and adults as they discover a world of the odd, the erotic and the supernatural, all of it in three short films. First, a Texas teen and wanna be actor knocks them dead at "The Audition". Second, two soldiers are on a secret mission in the jungles of South America. Once captured, their last night together will reveal dark secrets and create sexual tensions that will cause wide spread collateral damage in "The Private War of Joseph Sargent". And finally, in "The Caretaker of Cook County", a cemetery worker hides his recent disfigurement under the cloak of a sinister hood. But it doesn't hide his twisted attempt to recapture the one that got away. An attempt that includes the help from young male bodies fresh from the mortuary!

2 or 3 Things I Know About Him
What would your family reminiscences about dad sound like if he had been an early supporter of Hitler’s, a leader of the notorious SA and the Third Reich’s minister in charge of Slovakia, including its Final Solution? Executed as a war criminal in 1947, Hanns Ludin left behind a grieving widow and six young children, the youngest of whom became a filmmaker. It's a fascinating, maddening, sometimes even humorous look at what the director calls "a typical German story." (Film Forum)
