CGiii Comment

In the 1970s, Detlef Stoffel from Bielefeld was one of the pioneers of the German gay movement. He preferred to change society rather than conform to the mainstream. Today, Detlef has, in his own way, found his place in society. For several years, he has been caring for his over 90-year-old mother, without having lost his combative spirit. 'Detlef' is an entertaining and exceptionally multifaceted documentary about a character who is equally multifaceted, and at the same time, it is an exciting and thought-provoking journey through gay contemporary history – an almost forgotten chapter of German history.


In den siebziger Jahren war der Bielefelder Detlef Stoffel einer der Pioniere der deutschen Schwulenbewegung. Er wollte lieber die Gesellschaft verändern, als sich dem Mainstream anzupassen. Heute ist Detlef auf seine Weise in der Gesellschaft angekommen. Seit einigen Jahren pflegt er seine über 90 Jahre alte Mutter, ohne allerdings seine Streitbarkeit eingebüßt zu haben. Detlef ist eine unterhaltsame und außergewöhnlich facettenreiche Doku über einen ebenso facettenreichen Charakter und zugleich ein spannender und nachdenklicher Trip durch die schwule Zeitgeschichte - ein fast vergessenes Kapitel deutscher Geschichte.
