Description

Max (Owen) is a handsome young man who, after a fateful tryst with a German soldier, is forced to run for his life. Pursued and captured Max is placed in a concentration camp where he pretends to be Jewish because in the eyes of the Nazis, gays are the lowest form of human being. But it takes a forbidden relationship with an openly gay prisoner to teach Max that without the love of another, life is not worth living. From Martin Sherman’s “powerful and provocative” (The New York Times) play comes an incredible film recording the forgotten persecution of homosexuals during the Nazi reign of terror. Featuring Lothaire Bluteau, Clive Owen, Ian McKellen and Mick Jagger.
