You probably think it's cowardly.
That's not important. - But you do have an opinion about it.
Why do you have to pit people against each other at the expense of the dead?
Amsterdam, May 4th, 1970
What makes you people so special?
I've been wondering that myself.
When you guys drive through the park with your spotlights.
We keep the city safe. - You ruin lives!
Listen, I don't give a damn what you guys do behind closed doors...
...but out in public, you faggots need to behave, understood?
Jesus, Jan! - I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
It was crowded, I was delayed, and I ran into someone at the station...
Fine! Is there a lot of police?
Hey. - What?
It's going to be alright. - Yeah.
There's plenty of time. - Please go.
You can do this.
Yeah? - Yeah.
I'll see you later, alright? - I love you.
Whose idea was it?
What do you think, Mr. Police Officer?
Whose idea was it?
Is this going to take much longer?
Are we sure we should do this?
You have said yes.
Three months, I don't want that. - It's just civil disobedience.
Why is this so easy for you?
Are you not afraid? - You can't quit right now.
Say yes! - Just give me a moment here, okay?
No, I'm sorry. I can't do this.
No! Enno, wait!
You know what I always do?
Have you ever seen a Clint Eastwood film?
No.
Every bad guy dead and gone.
And they lived happily ever after.
Are you still alive?
And the other one? Is he your boyfriend?
Why do you ask? Are you interested?
No.
Are we done here?
They're going to lock you up for three months, at least.
That's right. - You seem proud of it.
We knew it was dangerous. It was at our own risk.
Is there anyone behind this mirror? - None of your business.
How does it work? Someone can see everything we do from the other side?
No one's there.
Pay attention!
You know, my life is like being in this room.
What do you mean?
With everything I do, I feel there is someone behind a mirror...
...watching me.
And that feeling makes me question whether or not...
...I can hold hands with my boyfriend when we walk down the street.
Whether I can kiss him at the tram stop.
Or introduce him to my boss, without any trouble.
There is always someone behind that mirror.
Who watches. And judges.
You don't even have to worry about things like that.
No one is watching you from behind a mirror.
You don't even have that mirror.
You just asked me why we did this, at the expense of the dead.
That is why.
I want to live without that mirror, too.
Come.
On Remembrance Day, 1970, Ad and Enno laid a wreath on Dam Square to protest...
...because homosexual victims of WWII were not included in memorial ceremonies.
Their stunt was not authorized, and the police arrested the two guys...
...but a wave of protest from the public followed.
After political deliberations, the public ceremony was changed a year later...
...to include all the homosexuals, Sinti and Roma who had perished during the war.
