As a young man, Rob de Vries displayed an early interest in filmmaking
with his 8mm camera, and in male love. In the late seventies, he left
Rotterdam for the then dazzling city of Amsterdam, where the young gay
movement grew explosively. Along with all sorts of artists and militant
gays, he travelled across the country to protest against homophobia. And
he captured everything on film. Sometimes in a documentary style,
sometimes he opted for fiction, as in his short films about coming out
or the queer-bashing theme. Incorporating this historical footage and
his own stories, De Vries leads us through a fascinating private life,
portraying an important period in gay emancipation in the seventies and
eighties, a time when people in the Netherlands were still only mildly
tolerant towards gays...
