CGiii Comment
Beautifully filmed...teenage angst and immaturity certainly do make for a lethal combination.
This is a skilful period piece - stunningly realised.
The director seems to have moved into TV - which is a great shame.
There are few out there that can capture such intensity - so artistically.
Blisteringly beautiful...and chilling.

The(ir) Blurb...
Weimar, Germany, in 1927. Best friends Günther and Paul ask themselves: is that really it, the highest point in life? They are convinced that they want to enjoy their lives to the full and without compromises - and they demand the same of love. Together with Günther's sister Hilde they spend a weekend in a summer house in the country, outside Berlin. Paul is fascinated by the girl and falls in love with her. And at first it looks like Paul's feelings are returned. But Hilde loves another. Secretly, she's meeting with a young, good-looking boy named Hans - Günther's former lover. But Hans, who works in the kitchen of a restaurant/dance club, is a young man from a much lower class. Then an excessive party takes place in the garden of the summer house. When Hans surprisingly joins the celebration, a roller coaster ride of feelings is set into motion which soon gets very much out of control.
