plant
In his films, Berger addresses homosexual relationships, especially between men, but does not feel permanently committed to the niche market of homosexual topics .
In its December 2011-February 2012 issue, the film magazine Sissy describes his exploratory and precise cinematic style as part of the review of the feature film Ausente , with which he won the Teddy Award at the Berlinale . Berger's strengths lie "... in the accuracy in which he investigates the emergence of desires in gestures, looks and other subliminal means of communication and at the same time shows the strategies with which one's own desires are kept in check."
In the feature film Hawaii , which was released in 2013 and financed through Kickstarter.com , two men again play the leading roles in their emotional-erotic approach. For his film Mariposa , which he wanted to shoot in 2014, Berger planned a straight storyline .
