Love it or hate it, but you really can't ignore the fact that this film came in 1957. In 50's you guys.. Can you imagine the subject of homosexuality (without being uttered the word in the film) was as taboo as anything. Sure you could think of this as a propaganda film, but you can't ignore that a subject like this was a huge risk back then. It was released with multiple titles in various parts of the world. 17 year old Klaus is a brilliant student and a gifted painter but to his father, who only understands money, Klaus is not normal since he doesn't bring home any girlfriend. Klaus spends most of his free time with Manfred, a low academic achiever raised by a relatively poor single mother. The two boys share an interest in the arts. Klaus protects Manfred from bullying as well. Klaus' parents get more worried when they learn that Klaus has been introduced to an antique dealer Boris, who hosts all male get togethers with electronic music and wrestling by young men...
