Synopsis |
|
COMING OUT is billed as the first
and only motion picture dealing with
homosexuality ever produced in
communist East Germany. The story
centers on Philipp, who was heavily
attracted to his best friend
throughout childhood, but has now
left that behind in order to fit
into "normal" society. After moving
in with a shy, attractive girl that
he genuinely cares for, he finds
himself uncontrollably falling for a
young man he meets while standing in
line for concert tickets. The crux
of the plot focuses on Philipp's
emotional turmoil as he comes to
grips with his own burgeoning
sexuality. |
