"Against the background of the East German society's prejudice against homosexual relationships, Philip, a high school teacher with a pregnant girlfriend, discovers he loves Matthias."
"Although he has a girlfriend who is expecting his child, Philipp, a young teacher in Berlin, meets Matthias and falls in love. After years of repressing his homosexuality, he must finally accept himself for who he truly is. The first and only DEFA feature film about homosexuality, Coming Out premiered on November 9, 1989 ... the evening the Berlin Wall came down. Philipp and Tanja teach at the same school. Both enjoy their work immensely, win their pupils' trust and talk about pressing problems. Tanja, especially, sees the love of her life in this friend. Philipp is attracted to her as well, but when a friend from his youth reminds him of an earlier erotic bond, he realizes that he is gay. It is a fact he has been repressing for years. Philipp falls passionately in love with Matthias. Matthias puts all his trust in Philipp and the relationship seems to have potential . . . but Philipp is a coward. He lacks the courage to tell Tanja the truth, as she is expecting his child, and he also fails to commit himself to Matthias or honestly confront his sexual orientation."
"It seems like a good thing when Philipp, a high-school teacher, starts a relationship with Tanja, but he cannot deny his passionate desire for a young man he meets in a concert ticket line."@en
"In der DDR ist eine weitere Mauer gefallen! Die Emanzipationsbewegung der Schwulen und Lesben trotzt nun auch im Osten den Moralvorstellungen in Sachen Liebe und Sexualität. "Coming Out" heisst denn auch der mutige Spielfilm aus der DDR, der sich als erste Produktion in den Oststaaten überhaupt des heissen Themas annimmt. Gedreht wurde er 1989 - geplant war er also lange vor dem historischen Zusammenbruch der Berliner Mauer von anfangs November des letzten Jahres."
