This film is almost a documentary. It shows some random episodes in the life of a bunch of german teenagers. The actors are at the age they are playing (15-20), and many scenes look a bit improvised, which gives an authentic touch. Technically, it is OK, no unSteadycam "amateur" look, though. The characters meet, hang around, talk about life, friends, dreams, beliefs. They flirt, run away, get angry, soothe; they try to find out who they are and who they want to be. This is no posh kid romance. Nor is it a Musical, although there are two or three scenes where people sing. This is just about teenagers. It looks like the author was not much older than his characters, but talented enough to capture many interesting moments and dialogues.
If you are interested in the life of ordinary german teenagers in the nineties, this is a good film. If you are not, don't see it.
