Let’s meet up again!
The modern life is full of activity. We keep on running the entire day from here and there.
Come, sit back and relax your mind by watching a film.
Sommer vorm Balkon
Director: Andreas Dresen, 2005, with English subtitles
|
Andreas Dresen’s tragicomic movie focuses on two women and their daily struggle for survival during a summer in Berlin. Katrin, a jobless single mum, and Nike, a nurse, live in the same house and are best friends. Although always dating the wrong men and still pursuing for happiness, they don’t lose their humor and spend many nights together on Nike’s balcony, drinking and chatting. However, Nike gets to know the trucker Ronald one day. The film won the Bayerischer Filmpreis (Bavarian Film Award) for Dresen as “Best Director”, the Silver Hugo Award for Inka Friedrich and Nadja Uhl together as “Best Actress”, and sold nearly one million tickets at the box office, making it the ninth most popular German language film of 2006. |
