CGiii Comment

Contemporary dance has never looked and felt so terrifying...

Intense, disturbing aggression...with notes of incongruous beauty.

Accomplished in every department. This is art.

Staged against minimalist backdrops and accompanied by a hypnotic original score, this highly cinematic contemporary dance film abstractly depicts the persecution of homosexuals at the hands of the Third Reich.
