戰後德國趨向復甦,漢斯卻因為同性戀行為,從集中營直接被轉送到監獄繼續服刑。因為刑法典第175條認定「同性戀是一項罪行」。被歸類為 「175」的漢斯一到監獄,就遭到維多的鄙視,原本看不順眼的兩人,因共處一室而逐漸熟識,更在獄中相互守候。
因為無法放棄做自己,漢斯出獄後不久,再因同性戀行為入獄,高牆與電網成了他人生永無止盡的循環。當他與維多在獄中再次相遇時,這兩個頻遭社會遺棄羞辱的男人,漸漸發展出一種無法被定義的愛...... 就在此時,德國宣布廢除175條款......
二人的三次相遇,也正是德國三個重要歷史時刻,但無論歷史再怎樣變化,同性戀者能擁有真正的自由嗎?
In post-war Germany, Hans (Franz Rogowski), a gay man, is caught in a continuous cycle of surveillance and incarceration as a result of paragraph 175, a law which criminalises homosexuality. After being ‘liberated’ by the Allied forces in 1945, Hans is transferred directly from a concentration camp to prison to finish out his sentence. There, he develops an unlikely bond with his cellmate Viktor (Georg Friedrich), a convicted murder.
As Hans returns to prison again and again over a period of three decades, a relationship that begins with revulsion blossoms into something far more tender. Winner of the Un Certain Regard Jury Prize at Cannes, and anchored by an exceptional performance from Franz Rogowski, Sebastian Meise’s Great Freedom is a searing depiction of love in the face of injustice.
