One day, a new girl from East Berlin moves to town. Tom has a crush on her and will do anything to impress her. When he finds out that she plans to become an actress, he even discovers the aspiration to perform himself. For a while, Tom is on cloud 9. This poetic, sensitive and at times comical coming-of-age story portrays East German youth before the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. Contemporary critics described the film as an encouragement for young people in discouraged times. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 653 Foreign Language Film 653 German Studies 653 Movies 700 1 Kahane, Peter,|efilmmaker 710 2 Kanopy (Firm) 856 40 |uhttps://naperville.kanopy.com/node/117172|zAvailable on Kanopy 856 42 |zCover Image|uhttps://www.kanopy.com/node/117172/external -image
