Coming Out

It is like a shock for Philipp when he meets Matthias. Now he knows what he has been waiting for all his life. But there is Tanja, who is in love with Philipp and expects their child. And there are the prejudices in society against homosexual partnerships. Philipp plunges into a deep crisis but as loneliness and desperation grow, so does a new clarity. Philipp understands that there is no other way for him but to accept himself and his passionate feelings.
