* 00:00: A teaser presents key scenes from the documentary.
* 01:45: Main thread of the documentation: Florian, 22, from Germany, was circumcised when he was 5 years old. Reason: [[phimosis]]. Was he circumcised unnecessarily?
'''History and statistics of circumcision'''
* 03:11: Prof. Dr. [[Maximilian Stehr]], pediatric surgeon, shows a [[circumcision]] and makes it clear that this is not a trifle and that in most cases it is unnecessary.
* 07:30: A study by the Robert Koch Institute found that around 10.9% of all men in Germany are circumcised. [[Maximilian Stehr]] assumes that only 1% of all cases are medically indicated.
* 08:36: The [[history of circumcision]] is briefly summarized.
'''Africa: VMMC in adults and adolescents'''
* 10:10: The [[WHO]] recommends "[[Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision]]" in Africa as a preventive measure against [[HIV]]/[[AIDS]]. It is shown with which advertising campaigns the [[WHO]] tried to achieve their [[Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision|goal of 2007]] to circumcise at least 27 million men in the African countries most affected by AIDS by 2021.
* 11:08: Dr. [[Jutta Reisinger]] from [[Aktion Regen]] has been fighting against [[FGM]] for many years. Now she's taking action against [[MGM]].
* 21:58: In 2020, the [[WHO]] reacted to the criticism of the [[VMMC]] and has since recommended that only young people aged 15 and over are circumcised. It remains questionable whether everyone on site will adhere to it.
* 22:15: Back to Florian: With the urologist Dr. [[Thomas Kreutzig-Langenfeld]] he discusses his case. He confirms Florian's assumption that he was circumcised unnecessarily.
'''Intactivism'''
* 26:38: Worldwide [[intactivism]] is presented using the example of the annual [[Worldwide Day of Genital Autonomy]] in Cologne.
* 27:07: [[Victor Schiering]] and his association [[MOGiS e.V.]] are introduced. They demand equal protection from genital mutilation for boys and girls.
'''Religious and cultural circumcision'''
* 28:16: For [[Seyran Ateş]], lawyer and liberal imam from Berlin, the child's right to physical integrity is the top priority.
* 29:17: The blogger [[Funda Celik]], mother of two sons, describes how she managed to convince her sons' father that circumcision is not necessary for Muslims either.
* 32:48: The French organization [[Brit Shalom l'Alliance sans Souffrance]] supports [[Brit Shalom]] in France. The Jewish couple Victor and Sarah are introduced, who did not have their son circumcised.
* 35:15: In a video conversation with them, the Israeli Rabbi Nardy Grün made it clear that the topic [[circumcision]] is still taboo in Israel and that an estimated 2% of all Jewish boys and men are not circumcised. But as a liberal rabbi, he sees no obligation to "mark" someone's body to enter into covenant with God.
'''Study about circumcision trauma'''
* 37:47: Back to Florian again. The film presents a study by Prof. [[Matthias Franz]] at the {{UNI|Uni Düsseldorf|HHU}} that examines the long-term psychological consequences of circumcision in early childhood.
'''Africa VMMC in children and infants'''
* 40:39: Back to [[Jutta Reisinger]], who visits a young mother in Kenya whose young son was circumcised when urinating after a bloated foreskin, although this alone is not a medical indication. The boy then had a so-called "buried penis" that retracted completely into the abdominal cavity.
* 42:38: Dr [[Jutta Reisinger|Reisinger]] sends diagnostic photos to Prof. [[Maximilian Stehr]], ...
* 44:57: dr [[Jutta Reisinger|Reisinger]] can watch and assist with an infant circumcision in a hospital in Kenya. The documentary shows that the boy feels the strongest [[pain]]s despite being given a pain reliever and then falls into rigidity of [[shock]].
* 46:06: dr [[Jutta Reisinger|Reisinger]] notes that the mother who consented to [[circumcision]] was informed, but the boy himself could not consent and that the medical indication is questionable.
'''Florian's lawsuit'''
* 47:03: Back to Florian. He is shown in front of the Düsseldorf Higher Regional Court, where his lawsuit is ultimately dismissed in the second instance. The circumcising doctor would have done everything right. "The plaintiff was unable to prove that the diagnosis made was incorrect. There were also no proven medical errors and the duty to provide information was not breached." This verdict is surprising because Florian's mother was never informed about alternative methods.
* 49:14: The medical lawyer Prof. [[Jörg Scheinfeld]], who accompanied the trial, found that children's interests are often evaluated differently in court than the interests of adults. It is incomprehensible to Florian that the doctor was allowed to circumcise him at the time, even though he was symptom-free.
'''New guidelines for phimosis, requirements, conclusion'''
* 50:13: Under the leadership of Prof. [[Maximilian Stehr]], new guidelines for circumcision of boys<ref>{{REFweb
