Heißer Sommer
“A cloudless sky and the wind that has fallen silent. Hard to believe how the barometer is rising …” Come on in, come on in, there’s plenty to experience here! Ten boys and eleven girls get to know each other whilst hitchhiking to their holidays on the Baltic Sea. Between the beach and the music, initial teasing soon gives way to light-hearted flirting and deep feelings. All this is accompanied by delightfully choreographed pop tunes and a radiantly high ‘Ostalgie’ factor. A rare example of pure entertainment cinema, deliberately aimed at a young audience and offering us today a glimpse of youth culture and leisure in the GDR. Critic Thomas Groh tongue-in-cheek describes it as a ‘barracks-yard version of a lively musical’. With over six million viewers, it is one of the most successful DEFA films ever made.
