Horst

In the late 1970's Horst follows his heart and decides to move from a suburb in Germany to glamorous New York City. A young, gay man with no money, no job and no knowledge of English, but a strong will. A will to built a new life in a completely different world, in which he hopes to feel free and more comfortable with his sexual orientation. On a warm spring day in May 1992 he dies in his New Yorker apartment from his struggle with AIDS . The only thing that’s left: videos, letters, photos and a few clothes. Plus, the most important thing: memories and stories of his family, friends and his former partner. Can love between partners, between a person and his family be strong enough to last longer than death? What does really stay after a person's gone? Told from a personal point of view, the film takes its audience on a journey to follow Horst's footsteps.
