Filme sobre o famoso sexólogo Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld, um judeu gay e socialista que em 1897, fundou o primeiro grupo político gay da história. Também em Berlim, abriu seu Instituto de Ciências Sexuais, em 1920, que se mantém único e foi altamente comentado pelo mundo. Hirschfeld morreu no exílio na França, em 1935, dois anos depois de ter todo o trabalho de sua vida destruído pelos nazistas. O filme revela a personalidade e as experiências de Hirschfeld por meio das principais figuras da sua vida; do amor impossível pelo Barão von Teschenberg aos anos felizes que passou com o jovem Karl Giese; da luta com o principal oponente à causa gay, o escritor de direita Adolf Beand, ao apoio de seu anjo-da-guarda, o travesti Dorchen, uma figura de grande inteligência e coragem. "O Einstein do Sexo" foi o nome dado a Hirschfeld pelos jornais americanos, em 1931. Perguntado a respeito da comparação, ele respondeu; "Acho muito bom, mas o melhor seria chamar Einstein de Hirschfeld da Física".

Through Carl’s eyes, we see New York City change from an outpost of Europe to the new capital of an anarchistic, post-ideological world. But then, when Carl least expects it, he’s called.
