Unter Männern - Schwul in der DDR plot

This film focuses on how homosexuality was experienced in East Germany. GDR ideology saw homosexuality as a radical, decadent morality and a danger to socialist society. We meet six men who speak openly for the first time about their social and intimate experiences. We get to know hairdresser Frank Shepperd, a clever, cunning individualist, as well as the learned theologian Edward Stack. He is the founder of a network of gay groups.
