Last Exit Gran Canaria

In Last Exit Gran Canaria, filmmaker Tim Lienhard embarks on a personal journey, juxtaposing his childhood in a Catholic family with his emergence as a drag performer. At 64, he candidly addresses themes of identity, sexuality, and self-esteem. This autofictional documentary is both a confession and a celebration, showcasing Lienhard’s transformation as he navigates various cultural landscapes, from Berlin to the vibrant scenes of the Torremolinos Porn Festival and Pride Week in Gran Canaria.

The film features encounters with OnlyFans creators and partygoers, each sharing their stories of desire and liberation. Lienhard’s grotesquely sexualized drag alter ego serves as a mirror and manifesto for authenticity in times of social regression. With a daring approach, Last Exit Gran Canaria challenges viewers to reflect on their own perceptions of identity and freedom, making it a significant entry in contemporary documentary filmmaking.
