It Is Not the Homosexual Who Is Perverse, But the Situation in Which He Lives  

[Nicht der Homosexuelle ist pervers, sondern die Situation, in der er lebt] dir. Rosa von Praunheim, Germany, 1971, 67'

Daniel and Clemens fall in love, move in together, and try to imitate the model of a traditional marriage. When their relationship ends after four months, Daniel plunges deeper into the Berlin gay subculture. He works in a gay café and frequents gay cruising spots such as parks and public toilets.

Eventually, he meets Paul in a drag bar, who invites him to his gay commune. There, discussions take place regarding alternative living models for homosexual people.
