Set in the 1990s, the film explores themes of censorship, art, and the struggle for free speech. It delves into the hypocrisy of society and the double standards when it comes to artistic expression. The trial becomes a witch hunt, as right-wing extremist groups and anti-choice organizations try to suppress Mapplethorpe's work. The film examines the role of the jury, the judge, and the impact of the verdict on both Mapplethorpe and the larger art community.
