A bitter and painful story about being gay in an intolerant time. The pain and bitterness I can endure, but not the slowness. The movie was stretched for too long. So many unnecessary scenes which can be summarized in 10 minutes. Also there was no strong chemistry between Hans and the teacher. I don't know if that's the actors fault or the director's. Bottom line, there's much room for improvements in this movie. I don't really like this drama. I gave it 6 for the historical aspect.
