Aus der Haut

Anyone who has seen 10 coming-of-age films in his life will have had at least 5 déjà-vus. Many stories are very similar and this TV production is also very didactic and problematizes pretty much everything that can be found and unfortunately dives deep into the cliché box. Milan, the main character, is not even particularly likeable, but who of the other characters is? The attempt to show a realistic picture of being gay in the provinces here may sound familiar to some, but the film was made in 2015, not 1985, so it seems a bit dated and might be good material to teach a school class, but for a grown gay man like me, it's something of a yawn. Have we really not moved on socially yet?
