Notes
A landmark of German Queer cinema, and the feature-film debut of director Wolfgang Petersen (Das Boot)· An essential GLBT heritage film· It is an adaptation of the 1975 autobiographical novel with the same name by Swiss author Alexander Ziegler· It was originally produced for West German television with some controversy· While the production quality of the Dekkoo VoD release of this film is inferior, it detracts little from the film's impact.
