The documentary reveals that there are doctors in Germany that consider homosexuality a disorder and therefore want to treat gays to become heterosexual. In a self-experiment, the gay reporter Christian Deker visited registered doctors that move in devout Christian circles. The doctors propose treatments that should change his sexual orientation from homosexual to heterosexual. Such treatments are not only ineffective but may even have a negative impact on the patient's health, warn World Medical Association and German Medical Association. Nevertheless, these doctors try to settle such methods even with health insurances. After his doctor visits, the reporter receives bills of the physicians to be forwarded to the private health insurance. The doctors diagnose a 'mental disorder' or a 'life-changing disease'.
