Plot

In the heart of Germany, Dennis Tormann, a young man barely out of his teens, finds himself embroiled in a two-year stint in prison for credit card fraud, his first taste of life behind bars. He lands in one of the most formidable cell blocks under the tyrannical rule of an inmate named Lutz, a figure he strives to avoid. Lutz, with the backing of a corrupt guard named Muller, wields power over the illegal drug trade within the prison. Enter Kevin Letarski, a youthful, fragile inmate, who becomes a punching bag for Lutz but simultaneously forms a solidarity with Dennis, guiding him through the tangled webs of their brutal prison life. In this grim environment, Dennis, though unaccustomed to same-sex relationships, finds himself irresistibly drawn to Mike, a stoic African-American inmate serving a fifteen-year sentence for murder, lodged in a separate cell block. As their mutual attraction blossoms into a clandestine relationship, they become a target for the vindictive Lutz and his minions, who disapprove of their bond. It pulls Dennis away from their sight, a situation they loathe. Yet, the duo, with Kevin's assistance, risk it all to steal moments of connection and intimacy, all while circumventing Lutz's cruel clutches. Ultimately, Dennis stands on the precipice of a life-altering decision – to choose between his love for Mike, or a chance at freedom without him. His choice will redefine his journey, encapsulating the essence of love, freedom, and the human spirit in the harsh, unforgiving confines of prison.
