content
Sixty-year-old Detlef Stoffel now lives in Bielefeld , where he takes care of his more than 90-year-old mother. Archive material is used to tell from his life, from his coming out in the early 1970s to the end of his active involvement in the political gay movement in 1980. Some of the prominent interview partners who were part of Stoffel's circle in the 1970s also have their say. The film is not limited to a description of the past, but also portrays Detlef Stoffel today.
reception
In the Frankfurter Rundschau, Elmar Kraushaar called the film a “thoughtful and often sober, laconic film balance” and praised the filmmakers telling “astonishingly competent with the well-balanced use of documentary material and eyewitness testimony.” According to the reviewer of the Tagesspiegel , some of the recordings are “ of inestimable value ”and convey an“ idea of the chaos of time ”.
