Categorizing love is such a boring thing

The first impression I got after watching Freier Fall was that the male protagonist fell in love with a person, and this person happened to be a man.
This film does not have such a strong sense of heaviness, it is relatively small and fresh, and it just starts a story around two people. Encounter, want to love, struggle, leave. Love is a very wonderful chemical reaction. When two people's eyes meet, a certain affection will arise, even Mark, who is a straight man, is not immune. It's not that he felt all the men when he saw it. At the end, when Mark pushed down the stranger in a gay bar and ran away in a hurry, I'm still not sure if he really became gay or if he just fell in love with Kai.
Morality and responsibility may be very important, but their own thoughts are not important.
It's such a boring thing to call love gay and straight.
The end of the film probably hints that Mark has the courage and determination to run out of the crowd.
