Doreen and Isa are 17-year-old twins from a village in East Germany. In the summer of 1988 the two future club rowers are allowed to go on a trip to a foreign socialist country. During their vacation at Lake Balaton in Hungary, they meet a group of young guys from the West German city of Hamburg. Doreen falls in love with Arne. For the first time, the twins don't share everything and are about to make the most momentous decision of their lives.

Director: Robert Thalheim, Germany, 2011
