Based on a true incident... The life story of the main character Denjo leads from a supposedly ideal life with his wife to an affair and finally to inner satisfaction? A statement against discrimination based on sexuality and a film that inspires the search for identity. At the same time, the film is a reference for a planned web series on the topic of bullying after the coming-out of a young person.

The light behind the lie - a story about love, acceptance, bullying, change and respect for other people. The short film follows the life of the main character Denjo, who initially tries to live up to society's expectations. Trapped in his sexuality, he increasingly distances himself from his wife and starts an affair with a young man. Through this, he tries to regain inner satisfaction in his own life. Will he succeed?

The film will be shot in double flap (German/English) and serves as a reference for the planned web series on the topic of bullying after a coming out of a young person.

The film focuses on the topic of homosexuality and coming out. This affects every individual in society. Therefore, we are all the addressees! The film affects those who have no prejudices or believe they have none, but also those who have prejudices and should become aware of the topic through this film.

Through the plot, outsiders can gain a closer insight into the lives of those who are homosexual and realize that it should be natural that everyone is allowed to live out their sexuality.

Especially, viewers are addressed who are in the process of finding their own identity. It is conveyed that everyone can and should accept themselves and stand by themselves. Nobody is alone and it is worth it to face one's own dissatisfaction.
