The film takes its name from Paragraph 175 of the German Penal Code, which criminalized homosexuality. The documentary features the testimonies of several gay individuals who were imprisoned by the Nazis and survived. These survivors recount the torture, forced labor, and inhumane treatment they endured in concentration camps. Additionally, the film explores the continuation of homophobic laws and social stigma in the post-war era. By shedding light on this often-overlooked history, the documentary exposes the injustices and traumas experienced by the LGBTQ+ community. It also delivers a powerful message about the courage of the survivors and the importance of remembering this tragedy.
