Synopsis

A shy young man gradually leaves his innocence behind him as he becomes entangled in the gay scene in Berlin.

MUBI's take

A landmark queer film made shortly after the decriminalization of homosexuality, this subversive story about a gay man’s struggles for sexual liberation in Berlin changed not only German cinema but the gay liberation movement itself. A pioneering, militant clarion-call to end homosexual oppression.
