Sun Alley
Comedy
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.
VIBE
A nostalgic and charming look at growing up on the edge of two worlds. It captures the absurdities of everyday life with a lighthearted, wry touch, celebrating youthful antics against a unique historical backdrop.
