This 1970’s German movie shows the story of Martin, an actor, is arrested in Switzerland for relations with a minor boy. He and the prison warden’s teenaged son, Thomas, fall in love. The boy winds up being institutionalized for his homosexuality, where he is brutalized and his spirit broken. Martin gets Thomas out of the Joint and tries to obtain papers for him to live in Deutschland. Thomas runs off with a rich fellow, a troll, as it were. He later tries to suicide, is rescued, and again institutionalized. The movie ends with his having fled the psych hospital. An effective movie, I think, showing how all the various manifestations of homophobia have can, and have, destroyed gays.
