Herzensbrecher – Vater von vier Söhnen

[kevvoi]

Herzensbrecher – Vater von vier Söhnen is a German drama about a single parent with four sons. The second oldest son comes out in episode 8 of the second season of the show - causing some family drama. My German is a very rusty, so I might not quite have gotten everything when I watched the episode - but at the same time as Tom is struggling with coming out to his family, his father (a pastor) is working with a gay couple in order to perform their nuptials. Tom's oldest brother Lukas and youngest brother Jakob end up being pretty cool; but the third brother Johannes is very unhappy about Tom's coming out. Tom also faces homophobia at school.

Here is a brief interview (in German) - where Lukas Karlsch summarizes his character Tom:



here is an article about Tom's coming out (also in German):

and a picture of Tom with Julius - from what I have gathered their relationship starts out pretty strained, but Julius tries to make up for it later:








Allaboutstrength has a clip with some English subtitles (though the storyline has been chopped down tremendously - and interspersed within the clip are random shots of a shirtless Gerrit Klein, who plays Tom's older brother):

Thank you missclumsy - that is too bad, I enjoyed the brief bits of the show that I have watched.
