About The Toilers and the Wayfarers
Phillip and Dieter nearly suffocate hiding their sexual identity in the face of puritanical small town values. Joined by a mysterious German relative, the three misfits escape to the big city searching for a place to belong.
Directed by Keith Froelich, The Toilers and the Wayfarers leans on a strong ensemble — Matt Klemp, Ralf Schirg, Andrew Woodhouse — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about romance titles of 1997.
