It Is Not the Homosexual Who Is Perverse, But the Society in Which He Lives
Daniel comes to Berlin, where he experiences both love and disappointment . He works in a gay café, follows the current fashion and the hasty trends of the urban gay community. After some time, he discovers the exotic enchantment of parks and toilets, where gays meet. He meets Paul, whose roommates are showing him that he lives a shallow life. Being an emancipated gay, his task is to come out and stop paying attention to consumerism and sex only. Praunheim´s attacks are aimed not only against social repression, but also against his own ranks. One of the most important movies of German cinema featuring the issue of homosexuality.
