The film “Bruno” directed by L. Charles contains an artistically unjustified demonstration of genitals and relationships, homosexual sexual acts in a frankly naturalistic form, showing homosexual perversions, profanity, manifestations of sadism, antisocial behavior that could harm the moral education of citizens.

The “ blue ” Austrian fashion columnist Bruno is fired from his show after he makes a booth at Milan Fashion Week. Together with his assistant assistant Lutz, he goes to the United States to become a superstar. After Bruno breaks the test auditions, in which he was supposed to interview the stars of the reality show , he tries to achieve fame with other methods. Trying to create some kind of sexual video, Bruno arranges an interview with American congressman Ron Paul (who did not suspect that he was “playing” himself), whom he confused with drag queen Ru Paul , and while they are waiting for technical problems to be fixed, Bruno begins to pester Ron, who, angry, leaves, calling him a “fagot”.

Also in his arsenal were discovered other ways to “become famous”. He imagined himself a “ dove of peace ” - he was going to the Middle East and, with his usual shockingness, was trying to reconcile Jews and Arabs . There he had to run away from the angry orthodox who saw him in mini-sexy shorts and a Jewish cap (hat), he made his way to the terrorist with a request to be kidnapped and glorified him.

And on the way back to America, in Africa, he exchanges the second model's iPod for a black child, which he proudly then tells talk show viewers. Black viewers, about a black boy ! And she also admits that this boy is “A real magnet for members.” All this is flavored with highly professional photographs with a boy in the role of Jesus on the cross, in a jacuzzi with men, or against the backdrop of bees without a protective suit. The performance ends in a natural conflict, and the adopted child is taken from him.

Once he understands that in order to become famous, you must become heterosexual . He goes to a gay convertor, a priest. He tries to set him on the right path, but our hero manages to seduce him. A gay converter advises him many different activities to turn his back on sodomy . For the sake of this, Bruno attends a swing party, goes hunting with real hunters, goes to self-defense classes, and, finally, to serve in the army. It ends with the fact that the Austrian, who has gotten rid of the blueness, is conducting a wrestling show under the pseudonym of Dave's “Natural”. But still, he can’t do anything about himself when he meets his sweet and faithful Lutz again ...
