    • Synopsis
    • Queer people from all over the world have made Berlin what it is today. Many leave their home because they want to, others because they have to. This film follows a few of them.
      The queer universe of Berlin mirrors the movements of the world and is constantly evolving. In recent decades, a multitude of identities have made themselves heard. Today, gay and lesbian are only two terms among many.
      QUEER EXILE BERLIN is the third part of the queer Berlin documentary trilogy following OUT IN EAST BERLIN (2013) and MY WONDERFUL WEST
      BERLIN (2017).
