Description

M11 (20s, 30s) with doubling. Various simple interior and exterior settings. Period 1930s

In 1930s Berlin Max and his lover/flatmate Rudy begin a nightmare odyssey through Nazi Germany, which placed homosexuals on a lower scale than Jews. Max refuses to abandon Rudy and soon they're caught. En route to Dachau, Rudy is killed and Horst, another homosexual prisoner, warns Max to deny Rudy, which he does. Max opts for the label "Jew" rather than "queer" but he and Horst are attracted to each other; when Horst is callously killed Max declares himself before committing suicide.
