Ein Hauch von Amerika

Black GI loves young country women: The six-part series tells of the encounter between US soldiers and Germans in the post-war period and a little-discussed episode in post-war history: the encounter between the German population and the GIs stationed there - and the love affairs that arose from it.

The cast is great. Elisa Schlott convinces as an energetic Marie, who is torn between the desire for a self-determined life and the obligations that she has entered into towards her family and her best friend Erika Strumm (Franziska Brandmeier).

The story is a little reminiscent of Rosamunde Pilcher. Too many clichés. The story of a young woman who stands between two men and has to choose between heart and reason has simply been seen too often to be really interested. Almost every twist is predictable. The story is told too gently but still worth seeing. A little surprise from German films.
