Starring Spanish actor Fernando Tielve alongside Marko Mandic, Sesede Terziyan, Stavros Yagulis and Samia Chancrin, Lose Your Head is centered around a party-loving Spanish tourist who gets lost in Berlin, a tale inspired by a news item published a few years ago about the disappearance of a young Portuguese man after a night out at the Berghain (a famous night-club in Berlin). Just like thousands of other young tourists, Luis (Fernando Tielve) arrives from Madrid to have a ball in Berlin during a summer weekend. After a break-up, Berlin's uninhibited world of night-clubs seems ideal to forget his sadness, meet new friends and fall in love. But his resemblance to a young Greek student, who had disappeared a few weeks previously, will throw Luis into a series of mysterious events. What starts as a romantic adventure turns into a desperate chase through the streets where he soon loses himself between paranoia and reality.
