The films principal character is Jean Neuenschwander who left his home in Frenchspeaking Switzerland in 1956 for Canada where he was soon appointed manager of a large luxury hotel in Vancouver In 1971 he bought a house in Tangiers where he settled down a few years later at the age of 51 for a cosy and opulent retirement My Sweet Little Ass is the account of his personal life which Jean Neuenschwander clearly takes delight in recounting He is a likeable hedonist who manages his affairs and his pleasures with considerable skill From this somewhat comfortable existence Simon Bischoff subtly extracts a group portrait of the homosexual subculture of Tangiers which for some has the power of myth particulary when frequented by characters such as Paul Bowles
