Things are going well for police officer Marc: A new house and his first baby on the way. But one of his colleagues gives him new sentiments, emotions Marc has never felt before. He is torn between his old life as a soon-to-be father and the exciting and confusing emotions that develop from his relationship with Kay.
Described as “a beautifully sentimental movie“ (INTRO), filled with “vibrating performances in every character“ (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung), “Germany’s answer to Brokeback Mountain“ (3SAT) is a beautiful piece of German cinema, that contributed to more representation when seeing intimacy between queer identities was still far from common. Now SSU’s German club is paying tribute to German queer cinema and is bringing the [2013] Berlinale’s most beautiful lovers“ (RBB Radio Eins) to SSU.
