Legendary director William Higgins presents Carlo Festa's beguiling 'rites of passage' story, set in Prague's enchanting forests and ancient castles. Also starring Jan Dvorak as 'The Woodsman'.
In the first scene we have Carlo Festa with Zdenek Vesper. They are hiking in the woods, exploring everything. They find some carvings on the trunks of trees and then, in a gully, they come across a chest. Hoping to find treasure they hoist the trunk onto level ground and open it. Inside they find some blankets and some Roman costumes. Carlo suggests trying the costumes, which they do, helping each other with them. Carlo bends over to reach in his bag, pulling out some grapes. The guys start to feed each other with grapes and Zdenek leans forward to kiss Carlo, reaching for his cock, which is already hard. As they kiss Carlo also finds Zdenek's cock, with his hand and wanks on it. Soon Zdenek leans over and takes Carlo's cock in his mouth. Sucking it slowly, and licking it, savoring the taste. Carlo moves onto his knees, exposing his ass to Zdenek. Zdenek gets underneath and sucks on Carlo's cock some more before the guys move into a 69. Carlo is keen for more and Zdenek obliges, laying on his back with his legs in the air so that Carlo can fuck him. Carlo fucks that ass, nice and slowly, as Zdenek wanks himself. It isn't long before Zdenek shoots a big load of cum all over himself. Carlo, wanking himself follows suit, with his cum spurting out beautifully. But the guys haven't finished yet. Carlo presents his ass again and Zdenek uses a dildo on it, opening it up, ready for his cock. Then he fucks Carlo, hard and fast. Carlo loves the feeling and his cock gets hard again as he is being fucked. Soon both of them need to cum again and Zdenek shoots his load over Carlo's chest. Carlo wanks himself and cums for a second time as well. Then the guys put a blanket on the ground and lay down with each other, to sleep. What a lovely scene, so good to see it again.
In scene 2 we see Carlo with Vladimir Gott and Cage Kejc. Carlo is cycling along the road when he is stopped by two Nazi guard, Vladimir and Cage. They ask him for his papers and when he insists that he doesn't have any they strip him and take him into the woods. With his hands tied behind him Carlo is made to walk in front of them. He tells them that he doesn't like it, and we then learn that he is actually only playing the part of a prisoner in an attempt to join their unit. They leave Carlo lying on the ground as they go off for a cigarette. A discussion ensues, about how nice he looks naked. Then we see the guys relaxing more, being served by Carlo in a see thru costume. He serves Vladimir a banana and is told how nice his own banana looks. Then he sits on the ground as the guys take their cocks out and start wanking. Vladimir lifts his boot to Carlo's lips, for licking. Then Cage does the same. They wank themselves as the put Carlo through is paces, then they get naked and have Carlo lick their asses. Next Carlo is made to suck on each of their cocks in turn and then both together. When they have been sucked enough Carlo is made to get fully naked and present his ass to Vladimir who begins to fuck him. A change of position sees Vladimir on the ground with Carlo sitting and riding his cock. Then he does the same to Cage's big cock too. He rides up and down on that cock before all three guys wank themselves to massive cumshots. But Cage and Vladimir want more, and fuck Carlo again, which soon builds up more hot cum as they shoot again to end a wonderful scene.
Scene 3 features Pavel Kosavkov with Carlo Festa. Pavel is sitting by the roadside trying to sell his honey and onions. Carlo approaches on his bicycle and Pavel calls to him to buy some honey. Carlo stops and Pavel gives him the hard sell, opening some honey and giving him a taste. Carlo is not convinced that it his home-produced so Pavel takes him into the woods to show him the hives. Going further into the woods Pavel then opens the honey again and feeds some more to Carlo. Then he leans forward to kiss those sweet lips. Carlo enjoys the kissing, his tongue meeting Pavel's. Then Carlo dips a finger into the honey and smears it over Pavel's exposed nipple. He leans forward and begins to lick the honey from Pavel's nipple. Pavel then opens Carlo's shorts exposing a lovely hard cock. He pushes the cock into a full jar of his honey, coating the head with it. Then Pavel leans forward to suck on the cock. His mouth wraps around the head and he begins to suck as he wanks himself. The guys separate and wank themselves before Pavel moves back towards Carlo, who is eager to have a taste of cock himself. He does a great job of sucking on Pavel's rigid dick. They then stand and place their cocks against each other so that a single hand can wank both. Next Pavel lays on the forest floor with Carlo on top of him for a 69. Carlo's hot ass is on display as they suck . Standing up and kissing again Pavel gently postions Carlo so that his ass is nicely available to take some cock. He slides his beautiful dick into Carlo's ass and begins a slow fuck. He fucks that hot ass for a while before laying down again, and Carlo sits his ass down on that hard cock, riding up and down on it. Pavel takes over and fucks his cock hard and fast into Carlos hot ass. Then Carlo is ready to cum. He wanks his cock and shoots a very nice load of cum. Pavel follows suit dumping his load as well. Then they get dressed and have a final kiss before Carlo takes his leave.
In scene 4 of Carlo and Friends we see Carlo with Jan Dvorak. Carlo is in the woods to cut some wood, but as he walks he comes across Jan Dvorak who is naked and wanking himself. Carlo stops to watch. As he watches that big cock being wanked Carlo drops his shorts and wanks himself. Jan looks wonderful, atop a large rock as his big cock is rock hard. Carlo cannot take his eyes off that cock. Then as we just see Carlo's beautiful face Jan's cock comes into the picture, perfectly at mouth level. Carlo opens his mouth and slides it over that massive cock. His sucks on it really well as he wanks himself. He is on his knees with his ass spread as he wanks. Jan then returns the favor by going down on Carlo's throbbing cock. Jan suck down on that cock a while and then Carlo stands and bends over, leaning on the bridge, so that Jan can slide his dick into that gorgreous ass. He fucks Carlo's hot hole nice and deep, with long, slow strokes. When he has fucked that tight ass long enough he pulls out and shoots a massive load of cum all over his back. Then Carlo stands and wanks himself, shooting his creamy cum as well.
Scene 5 brings Carlo with Boris Mateo, Bjorn Bohem and Jordi Cosimo. Carlo is visiting a large castle. As he enters he finds Jordi adding logs to the fire. He joins him and then go into the main room. As they feel the heat of the fire warming the wall they feel grapes being dropped on them. Looking up they then see Boris and Bjorn, laughing as they throw the grapes. Boris and Bjorn then go down the stair to join the other two. jordi explains that they are to have a Scottish party. So the guys change into kilts and hats. However, Boris is questioned as to why he removes his underwear whilst putting on the kilt. He explains that underwear should not be worn with a kilt. He produces a picture to prove his point and the other guys then stand and remove their underwear as well, though Carlo is not so inclined. So the guys pull him to his feet and remove the slippies for him. Carlo sits and tucks the kilt between his legs, but Boris is having none of that. He pulls the kilt up and exposes Carlo's cock, which is very hard. Boris makes a big thing of how hard that cock is, laughing and joking about it. He makes Carlo stand and lifts the kilt to expose his ass. He continues to examine Carlo, pulling on his nipples as Bjorn and Jordi stand and begin to wank themselves. Boris then takes hold of Carlo's cock and wanks on it. Jordi and Bjorn start to wank each other and they lean over to kiss. Boris and Carlo are watching them and they follow suit, by kissing. All the guys come together, with Bjorn standing behind Carlo as Boris and Jordi are on their knees. They take turns to suck on Carlo's hard cock as Bjorn kisses him and feels his nipples. Carlo reaches behind himself to wank on Bjorn's cock. The guys then separate with Carlo sucking on Bjorn's cock and Boris doing the same for Jordi. They don't stay apart for long though as they join together in a circle to suck each other. Carlo needs more than sucking and takes Jordi's ass with his throbbing cock. Jordi sucks on Boris' cock too and his own is being worked on by Bjorn. Carlo and Bjorn swap places, with Bjorn's big dick going deep into Jordi's ass. Moving to another room everything changes as Boris and Bjorn are on their knees being fucked by Jordi and Carlo. Having satisfied their needs the guys build up to cumshots. Boris is the first to blow, his big load spurting out of his cock. Carlo then dumps his cum all over Boris. Bjorn is next, his cream landing on his belly as Jordi wanks above him. Jordi is soon ready as well and he shoots his cum over Bjorn. The guys then all get into a shower together to clean up after a great finale.
It doesn't seem possible, but William Higgins has given us another nearly flawless flick which takes place amid the flora and fauna of the Czech Republic, one which will remind you of themes and scenes burned into your memory from his classic productions which were made in California. "Carlo & Friends," however, is exquisitely more romantic and sensual than most of those movies, a fantasy filled with beautiful men who find sex wherever they wander.
"Carlo & Friends" is infinitely more casual than either of Higgins' "Andel" (All Worlds) stories, less structured than his "Prague Buddies" (William Higgins) films, and hornier than the testosterone-filled romp of the more recent "Double Czech" (All Worlds). It's astonishing how he has used a seemingly haphazard series of highly-charged loops to fashion a sweetly cohesive story of a young man midway between twinkdom and manhood who loses his man-to-man virginity to his best friend in the woods, and proceeds from there to fuck and suck his way through the Czech countryside as if it were the most natural thing in the world. It is made all the more logical with a star like the fresh-faced, cherubic, gymnast-built, bubble-butted Carlo Festa. But without the Higgins imagination, it would have been just another fuck flick in the hands of 99% of all the other directors in the game.
Dressed in what appear to be scouting uniforms, Carlo and Zdnek happen upon a pair of huge boulders, which have apparently been carved over the centuries to resemble hideous demons from Czech folklore. "Looks like your girlfriend," Zdnek teases. They then come upon an old trunk stuck between two boulders. They open it and discover old costumes, including what appear to be short, white Roman togas. Zdnek teases Carlo again: "let's put them on," and though hesitant at first, Carlo lets his friend help undress him and they slip into their costumes. With their bronzed bodies, and subtle ways of modestly groping each other, Zdnek and Carlo play out one of the most romantic seductions Higgins has ever presented. Carlo innocently goes into his backpack and pulls out a bunch of grapes. They feed each other, one at a time, until Zdnek slips one between Carlo's lips, and then leans over to suck it out -- but winds up, of course, in a passionate kiss.
Zdnek is in complete control here, kissing, groping, and eventually sucking Carlo into torrents of passion. Carlo seems somewhat taken aback at first, but falls into the lovefest with increasing comfort as Zdnek positions him for various assaults on his cock -- he gets in a lot of twirling, licking and an occasional shaft-dive, and even gets Carlo to crouch on all-fours as he lays on his back beneath him to deep-throat Carlo's hard, thick schlong. Soon, Carlo has learned his way around a pecker, manifested by an intense 69 session, which is followed by Zdnek offering up his ass missionary-style. Carlo partakes of his first man-fuck in style, while Zdnek sweetly moans and mutters, then Carlo picks up the tempo for a superb series of pumps and thrusts which send explosive swirls of cum all over them. They kiss, and collapse into each other's arms.
But, Zdnek has Carlo where he wants him, and soon places his friend doggy-style over a rock and starts to lick and plumb that delightful pucker. He pulls a dildo out of nowhere, and slips it up Carlo's ass: "Everyone has a first time," he says, as if every man in the Czech Republic goes through this. He throws a rhythmic fuck into his friend, and once again they burst with pent-up juice all over each other. They collapse into each other's arms and lay down on the blanket, naked and entwined, for a nap.
What follows is up for discussion. Carlo dreams that he is a young man biking through the area during World War II dressed in a "youth for Hitler" outfit. Two SS officers, Vladimir Gott and Cage Kojc, who demand to see his papers, accost him. Time out. A long disclaimer from Higgins that warns anyone who is offended by such things to stay away precedes the movie. He also explains that he chose this vehicle as a comment on the hypocrisy of Nazism and modern day right-wingers when it comes to sexuality. Quite frankly, as one who grew up right after WWII, I found the scene, which is the weakest in the movie sexually, totally harmless. But, that could be because Vladimir and Cage are so beautiful that one's mind wanders. I doubt it. Higgins can be forgiven for his artistic indulgence because it's not out of the realm of possibility that a scene like this may have taken place exactly where it is filmed.
The scene's premise is that Carlo will be conscripted into Vladimir and Cage's unit, but first he has to show them respect. They dress him in a fishnet bodystocking and turn him into their personal slave. He licks their boots, serves them tea and food, and eventually sucks their cocks. Now, this is an impressive pair of cocks on two superbly engineered bodies topped by beautiful faces. Vladimir is an open-faced, brown-haired beauty who is more of a middleweight than Cage, whose more angular close-cropped beauty is accented by a harder, leaner frame. They look somewhat like each other, but different, if you know what I mean. Fans of Higgins' EuroMilitary site [ http://EuroMilitary.com ] will recognize Vladimir as less versatile here than he is on the site -- he is strictly top to Carlo's hesitant bottom. Cage is also is strictly trade here. Both men treat Carlo with some deference, but get their fill of him by filling his mouth and butt with their cocks. There is a tantalizing sequence in which Vladimir eats a banana, Cage smokes a cigarette, and both discuss how they are impressed with Carlo's banana. But, they make sure that the banana-split is served to Carlo, instead.
It comes almost as a shock -- but I suppose a very calculated move by Higgins -- when midway through Carlo's back-and-forth blowjob of the two, that Vladimir and Cage actually lock jaws in a feverish kiss. There is a subliminal heat between the two of them that plays all sorts of tricks with the Nazi disclaimer -- and, by the way, they look like they might make an interesting duo in some future Higgins extravaganza. They treat Carlo as they wish, pounding him against boulders, across little ridges, swapping him back and forth in a series of heavy thrusts during a multiple sit-fuck sequence. Cage eventually can take no more and bathes Carlo in a stream of goo, and Carlo cums as well. Then Vladimir takes over again, pounding Carlo doggy-style until he is ready to cum -- and he issues forth a fountain. (The money-shots in this flick are superb!) Vladimir and Cage tie Carlo up and get dressed, but they share one last quick kiss before they go back to the front. Meanwhile, Carlo wakes up and is back to reality from a dream sequence which was built around Higgins' rationale for this flick -- he developed a costume semi-fetish last year, according to his website reports, and these uniforms, and the body net, sort of fit the theme of the overall direction of "Carlo & Friends," in which costumes of one sort or another are devices for plot-twists.
The most delightful plot-twist of the movie has Carlo once again on his bike, this time in his own time, happening upon a farmboy who is selling honey on a lonely country road. The farmer, decked out in coveralls and a straw hat, is the gloriously beautiful Pavel Korsakov, without question one of the great romantic presences to come out of Europe's male porn scene in the past 10 years. A real-life pole-vaulter until he was injured in Olympic tryouts, Pavel has a striking resemblance to the aforementioned Zdnek Vesper in many respects, except he has raven black hair and a slightly more open face. His roles early on had him strictly as a bottom (most often to that Czech hunk, Jirka Kavloda), but he has always acted in the role of a seducer. He tops himself in this scene, as he tries to convince a skeptical Carlo that the honey he is offering is real, and not from the supermarket.
He does this by dipping his finger into a jar, and having Carlo suck the honey. He then invites him to the shack where the honey is made, where he dips his finger into the jar, rubs it on Carlo's lips, and then licks it off. Carlo dips his finger in, rubs it on one of Pavel's superb nipples, and licks it off. They kiss, Pavel drops to his knees, pulls out Carlo's cock, rubs honey on it, and cleans it off with some deep gorges -- and doesn't stop. He gives Carlo a thorough sucking, and the camera angles bring a new appreciation to Pavel's beauty. Carlo soon takes advantage of Pavel's tool, and soon they are in a feverish 69, with Pavel on the bottom thrusting his throat up on Carlo's big cock as Carlo plunges down on Pavel. They segue into a fuck-a-thon, with Pavel as top, first doggy and then sit-fuck until both explode -- once again, Carlo shooting a geyser.
Having done the farmer, Carlo moves on. He discovers a huge logging saw and peers through the trees to see a glorious dream-come-true -- the logger, on a boulder which stands well above the entire forest, whacking his huge cock in the brilliant sunshine of the Prague countryside. Carlo's jaw drops, not just from the size of the cock he sees, but also from the sheer magnitude of the man who possesses it -- Jan Dvorak. There follows a sequence that could have literally been taken out of Higgins' California epics "Leo and Lance" or "Sailor in the Wild." Jan whacking off, Carlo watching him and doing the same, until Jan spots Carlo. He comes down from the mount (so to speak) and Higgins cuts to a close-up side-shot of Carlo's face; into the frame from the left appears a nine-inch shaft of man-meat, which Carlo knows will be his greatest challenge yet. He gives Jan a solid blowjob, but it comes as somewhat of a surprise when the camera shifts suddenly to a close-up of Jan's superb hole -- he is on his knees, and he is sucking Carlo. This is a surprise, for Jan heretofore has not sucked cock in a Higgins movie, and he does it with aplomb for several minutes, even pausing to nibble on Carlo's lovely chest and nips. But, Jan is a top if anything, and he eventually bends Carlo over a bridge rail and plows him mercilessly. You can tell this is a new experience for Carlo -- he howls as that nine-incher plows straight up to his throat. As usual, Jan cums in a flood, but Carlo is not far behind in force or in volume.
Finally, Carlo happens upon a castle -- what a beautiful vision, bathed in golden light. He walks inside and finds the swarthy, pink-cheeked, goateed Jordi Cosimo -- dressed in the same scouting outfit as Carlo -- feeding the fireplace. Seems this is an abandoned place and guys just happen to come by, because upstairs, looking at them, are burly Boris Mateo and the very pretty, very rosy-cheeked Bjorn Bohem. Seems like Carlo has stumbled into a "Scottish party," in which the boys dress up in kilts and hats. Well, why not? The sight of these boys in kilts and kapers will absolutely send you up a wall. One of them protests that they must be bare-butt under the kilts, and pulls out photos of Scottish lads whose asses are exposed in the wind as proof. Soon, Boris, a bit of a tank with a boxer look and a hidden appetite for cock, reaches over and exposes Carlo's hardon. The party, as they say, commences. Boris and Carlo kiss, Jordi and Bjorn kiss, and the three new boys begin their worship of Carlo -- two sucking him at a time while another stands behind him rubbing his body and kissing him. The four switch off several times, each couple kissing, sucking, licking, until there's a four-way daisy-chain on the floor. Then Boris and Jordi find each other as Carlo worships Bjorn's cock. Then an unusual thing happens -- Jordi, who was somewhat of a reticent player in "Double Czech," becomes the object of desire. Each man takes his turn fucking him missionary-style, while another kisses him or stuffs his mouth with cock, and another sucks him. This is a tour-de-force for this young, attractive man whose hairy chest, pink cheeks and facial hair are totally out of character with Higgins' usual gang of characters -- but it works, it is hot, it is almost over the top. Clearly, by their money-shots, the boys thought so, too.
The movie ends (after two hours) with a superbly edited coda -- the four boys showering together with the cast photos superimposed upon the scene. There's no sex, just cleansing, though I am not sure the number of towels which they needed to dry themselves off would be adequate for the mess you will have to clean up after you watch this exceptional piece of work -- assuming you can get through it in one sitting. In this, the week of the Oscars, there is no better tribute to pay to this man than to suggest that some porn awards outfit inaugurate a parallel honor to the Thalberg Award in the name of William Higgins, but do it while he's still here. He deserves it more than anyone in the history of male porn, and in "Carlo & Friends" he has produced a video that would make a straight man cum.
