Storyline

A group of kids grow up on the short, wrong (east) side of the Sonnenallee in Berlin, right next to one of the few border crossings between East and West reserved for German citizens. The antics of these kids, their families, of the "West German" friends and relatives who come to visit, and of the East German border guards, all serve to illustrate the absurdity of everyday life on the Sonnenallee, and therefore throughout the former East Germany.

Fantastic!
26 October 2001 | by (Vienna) – See all my reviews

The movie deals with a serious problem in a very good way. The comedic scenes are always at the right time, usually I don't like German movies that much, but this one is definitely one of the best! The character of "Wuschel" is gorgeous, I can only recommend this movie. ally
