Storyline

In post-war Germany, as the country moves toward recovery, Hans is transferred directly from a concentration camp to prison to continue serving his sentence under Paragraph 175, which criminalizes homosexuality. His longing for love and freedom is crushed, yet his most profound relationship comes from his cellmate Viktor, a convicted murderer. Though Viktor initially despises Hans for being classified as a "175," the two gradually get to know each other while sharing a cell. Viktor, skilled in tattooing, helps Hans remove the Nazi code branded on him, and when Viktor gets into trouble, Hans takes his punishment in solitary confinement, earning Viktor's gratitude. They learn to respect each other and become confidants. Hans also finds love in prison with Oscar, which becomes his only solace until his release. Unable to give up being himself, Hans soon returns to prison for the same offense, the walls and electric fences forming an endless cycle in his life. When he and Viktor meet again in prison, these two men, repeatedly abandoned and humiliated by society, gradually develop a love that defies definition. Just then, Germany announces the repeal of Paragraph 175.
