Heintje - Einmal wird die Sonne wieder scheinen

A high quality musical movie. A charming story with five beautiful songs by the childhood star - Heintje, the little hero who is playing the role of a detective after his father is innocently thrown into jail. It was very popular in China during 1980s, and affected not only one generation - both my mother and I like it very much. Since the move was totally dubbed, few people in China knows it's original name (It's Chinese name is Handsom Child), nor the name of Heintje. It took me three for searching this movie on the net, and finally found it by the lyric of the sound track...

Enjoy the memorable songs: Little child, little sorrow Two little stars The last rose in the summer

Don't remember if I had watched the movie. But the songs in the movie bring me back for 30 years, after a friend of mine forwarded the songs to a group chat.

Like other reviewers from China, we were all lived in a 'forbidden' country ruled by communist for a time when beautiful music is so rare, like ration foods that you couldn't choose.

Heintje's movie and songs like the fresh spring air breezing into China ...

I saw the movie when I was still a young kid (younger than Heintje in the movie) in China and honestly couldn't remember much other than it's a nice movie. But the song "Kleine Kinder, kleine Sorgen" from this movie was my favorite. So beautiful and pure, its rhythms always makes me happy. On my 9th birthday, my parents called the local radio station for the song as my birthday present - still the most memorable birthday present I've ever received. So many years had passed and I sometimes wish I am still the "kleine Kinder" that I used to be, with "kleine Sorgen". They really should make more beautiful, loving, non-violent movies for today's children. It seems that most people commenting on the movie are Chinese. Was it popular in Germany when it was released in the 70's?

I watched the movie twice. Today, I watch it for the third time. Wow, I'm surprised to watched it again and still be interested in it. It isn't the sort of movies you will never watch again. The music in the movie < the last rose in summer > polish up the movie. All in all, It's my cup of tea.

Having had grown up and lived in China through 1980's, I share the sentiment for the movie by several reviewers of the Chinese origin. I don't know a single person then who didn't love the handsome, caring, optimistic and courageous boy with a golden voice. For my daughter who grew up in the U.S. to study Chinese, I took some trouble to find the movie (dubbed in Chinese) and she loves it, too. We watched it together many times. Having seen so many great movies from the east and the west by now, I sometimes wonder if I love the movie out of nostalgia or its true value? The answer is always the latter.

Now onto the movie. In the movie, the boy, growing up with his widower father, runs the simple and happy household with love and humor. When the ill fate throws him into the house of his estranged, ill-temped and rich maternal grandfather, he melts the old man's heart after a series of unexpected events.
