In post-war Germany, liberation by the Allies does not mean freedom for everyone. Hans Hoffmann is repeatedly imprisoned under Paragraph 175, which criminalizes homosexuality. Nevertheless, over the decades, he continues his quest for freedom and love, even if he finds it in the most unusual places.
Great Freedom is a German drama following Hans Hoffmann's decades-long struggle for love and dignity in post-war Germany, where a brutal law criminalizing homosexuality keeps him imprisoned despite Allied liberation.
