It addresses family issues and toxic relationships, as well as individual vulnerability and frailty. Tomer’s documentary shows the difficulty of constructing one’s identity and one’s relations to others. The problem is an industry that wants to make money at all costs and grows on free websites, sometimes using abuse or private video as income, and exploiting actors and actresses (by the way, if you want to know more about ethical porn, you can read a little on Erika Lust and her website, XConfessions - we have written a piece about her as well). That is not to say that sex, sex work or filmed sexy are bad it is not in itself. It points out the hardship of the porn industry and how the system can destroy people. The documentary shows the quick and incredible rise of Jonathan in the gay porn industry, as well as the downfall. Welcome to 8 years of Jonathan’s life, between Berlin and Israel. Before going any further, we are going to put a strong TW on drug use, family abuse and pornography (please take care of yourself). This time, Tomer focuses on Jonathan Agassi, Yonatan Langer’s porn alias. Tomer Heymann is coming back after his awarded ‘Who’s Gonna Love Me Now’, a documentary following Saar Maoz, gay and HIV-positive, who is returning home in Israel after his family turned their back on him for bein gay 20 years earlier.
