    • Trivia
      The later SPD politician Manuela Schwesig plays a small supporting role in this movie. "It was a huge coincidence. My family and I lived in Seelow at the time, very close to Frankfurt (Oder), the city where I was born. The newspaper said that a Defa casting was taking place in Frankfurt, and my father said: 'Come on, let's go there'. I actually auditioned for the lead role. But I quickly realized: I don't want this leading role. Because I thought that some of the scenes that were planned there - and the difficult material in general - would be too much for me. That was really a big challenge for a young girl," she said.

    8/10
    SENSITIVE AND HONEST DRAMA
    Sensitive, honest, balanced, beautifully photographed drama that - 10 years after date - is still more actual considering the more and more uptight reaction towards sexuality as such of, and as expression of love between young people. With sharpness the film shows the inhuman attitude and petit bourgeois hypocracy of the community and the destructive effect of only following rules.

    A film to be seen by those who think there is such a thing as "under age" and that the state should be our guide of morals.
