Summer Storm

Directed by Marco Kreuzpaintner2004Germany98 mins

Tobi (Robert Stadlober) and Achim (Kostja Ullmann), the pride of the local crew club, have been the best of friends for years and are convinced that nothing will ever stand in the way of their friendship. They look forward to the upcoming summer camp and the crew competition. Achim’s girlfriend Sandra (Miriam Morgenstern) is on the girl’s team and he enjoys spending more time with her.

Tobi becomes increasingly skeptical of their relationship. Anke, the pretty girl who has fallen for Tobi, doesn’t make things any easier. Then the gay team from Berlin arrives and Tobi is totally confused. The evening before the races begin, the storm that breaks out is more than meteorlogical... A sensitive story about the complexities of growing up.
