Storyline:

A stranger, Jeff Stryker from the Midwest arrives in Hollywood, rents a motel room, and becomes the major fantasy of the owner, his mother and all the other guests. Young and old, male and female, black and white: everybody finds him delectable. In the end, they invite him for a Christmas dinner.

User review:

Jeff Stryker’s ‘bratwurst’ is tickling everybody’s fancy. All the guests at a Hollywood hotel have all sorts of fantasies set in motion at the sight of Jeff. We have a Marilyn Monroe look-a-like, a leather-man with a little white dog and the hotel-owner’s mother all craving for Jeff’s flesh, but the ultimate fantasy is played out at the Christmas dinner table.

Can I Be Your Bratwurst is a very funny short. Rosa von Praunheim knows how to make a film work and this time it’s fun.
