I must admit my concentration started to fade pretty soon although it's not all that bad. But I remember it was about a bunch of teenagers from the Soviet sector of Berlin in the pre-Wall-era. At least one of them tries to settle down in the western part of the city. Others also try some revolutionary business and they all have conflicts with their parents. Of course, there also is a girl involved who ends up being pregnant by I don't know whom. At the end almost all of them are dead. The most remarkable scene about this film, however, probably is the jazz sequence in which the teenagers dance along and nothing really happens for several minutes which must have been highly innovative at that time, especially accompanied by obviously American music.
The cinematography is nice, most of the actors are okay and so this might be one of the better cinematic legacies we have from the GDR considering the difficult and restrictive circumstances GDR filmmakers had to cope with shortly afterwards.
