Directed by Sean Mathias
“In a time of war, they found themselves in the most dangerous place of all. In love.”
Drama, History, Romance · 1h 45m
Max is a handsome young man who, after a fateful tryst with a German soldier, is forced to run for his life. Eventually Max is placed in a concentration camp where he pretends to be Jewish because in the eyes of the Nazis, gays are the lowest form of human being. But it takes a relationship with an openly gay prisoner to teach Max that without the love of another, life is not worth living.
