| Brief Description: | Set in 1927 Berlin, this poetic period romance is based on the real life Steglitz Student tragedy. While away at school, Paul (Daniel Bruhl), a shy, artistic boy from a working class family, finds himself drawn to the wealthy and charismatic Guenther (August Diehl). Their shared affinity for rebellion and passion causes them to form a tight-knit bond with dangerous implications. Achim von Borries (Goodbye, Lenin!) writes and directs a languid coming-of-age tale of doomed love. In German with English subtitles. |
