Karl Kling's efforts to comply with social norms in order to keep his
sexuality a secret. It also paints a picture of a life torn between
conformity and rebellion, and the cruel realities of twentieth-century
German society, where homosexuality was proscribed and punishable until
1994. Matthias Lehmann poignantly depicts the story of a decades-long
yearning to live an open and free life, and the price Karl and those he
loves paid for it. It is also a story of finding the courage to finally
tell the truth no matter the obstacles . . . or the cost.</span></p></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table>
