Great Freedom
Directed by Sebastian Meise
Produced by FreibeuterFilm, Rohfilm
A tender yet sorrowful chronicle of a man's decades-long struggle for love and dignity under systemic persecution, told with quiet intensity and deep humanity.
In post-war Germany, liberation by the Allies does not mean freedom for everyone. Hans Hoffmann is repeatedly imprisoned under Paragraph 175, which criminalizes homosexuality. Nevertheless, over the decades, he continues his quest for freedom and love, even if he finds it in the most unusual places.
