Overview
In Berlin, a diverse coalition of activists joins forces to speak out against the violence in Gaza and the German government’s support for it. Faced with arrests, possible deportations, and strict restrictions on protests, the activists seek ways to continue their struggle. In this climate, they start rehearsing a stage adaptation of a 1970s queer book entitled The Faggots and Their Friends Between Revolutions. This hybrid and experimental film shifts between rehearsals of the play and the everyday reality of activism. Passages from the play—about power structures, exclusion, and solidarity—are interwoven with their ongoing protests and their sometimes sympathetic, sometimes confrontational conversations with the press. Juxtaposed, the intensity of protest and the creative freedom of theater sharpen the focus on what it means to be an activist—and the toll it takes on those involved.
