Description

Summer 1988: The twins Isa and Doreen are allowed to attend a training camp at Lake Balaton in Hungary as promising young athletes of the GDR. There they meet two boys from Hamburg - Arne and Nico. The vacation flirtation soon turns into something more and Arne suggests that the inseparable sisters flee the GDR together.

A teenage love story based on a real story that comes across as light and cheerful despite its political background. Thalheim made the movie with the knowledge that we have today, namely, that a year later in 1989 the Wall would fall. After that, the crime of "Republikflucht", the defection from East Germany to the West no longer existed.

Themes: GDR/German division, youth, (first) love.

Learning objectives:

Students can:

understand film images and film dialogues
examine the film's content and information about the country
talk about it and express opinions
classify the themes of the film historically and develop them creatively
