Živim na sunčanoj aveniji

SADRžAJ

Sedamdesetih godina u istočnoberlinskoj četvrti koja se nalazi na samoj granici između istočnog i zapadnog dijela živi sedamnaestogodišnji Micha, simpatičan tinejdžer s tipičnim tinejdžerskim problemima i zanimacijama: kako osvojiti ljubav najpopularnije djevojke u susjedstvu ili kako doći do ploče Rolling Stonesa. Prva iskušenja, improvizirane droge, druženje sa škvadrom, slušanje glazbe...to je Michina svakidašnjicu.Iako i Michina obitelj, kao i sve ostale obitelji u gradu, živi uz stalne policijske kontrole, tajne službe, zabrane Centralnog komiteta i podsmijeh onih s druge strane zida postoji čak i jedno povišeno mjesto na koje se "zapadnjaci" mogu popeti i dobacivati uvrede "istočnjacima" - ipak su to najbolje godine Michina života prepune namjernih i slučajnih nestašluka...
Mladići odrastaju, neki će postati i očevi, a Micha će se naučiti boriti za djevojku koju voli i za svoja uvjerenja.

Hausmanns teens live along "Sun Alley," a street split in two by a checkpoint between East and West Berlin, and they occasionally talk of starting a resistance movement. Their revolutionary dreams are quickly dashed, however, in favor of dreaming about the opposite sex. Easterners Micha (Alexander Scheer) and Mario (Alexander Beyer) spend their days listening to bootlegged Rolling Stones records and endlessly scheming ways to lose their virginity. Meanwhile, Micha has to put up with his eccentric clan, including a mom (The Tin Drums Katharina Thalbach) whos dreaming up disguises for escaping the country, a pop (Henry Huebchen) who bemoans the state of Eastern products, and a sis (Annika Kuhl) who throws herself at any available man in town.
