Spoilers ahead
On a march through Berlin, the film examines a provocative clash of identities as gay men confront the legacies of extreme right-wing politics. In a bold, quiet moment among the crowd, the participants critique the idea of gay men aligned with white power or neo-Nazi ideologies, noting the sheer absurdity of such a fusion. One listener perhaps voices the most pointed truth: if the gay far right and neo-Nazis had lived in the era they admire, they would have been exterminated.
