SYNOPSIS:

In June 1990, two teenagers fall in love in Germany - an innocent first love shortly before German reunification. But KATJA (16) is from West Berlin and THORBEN (17) from East Germany and their families are enemies: The parents fight over a house in Kleinmachnow. It's about old wounds and new prejudices. While Germany's unity is advancing in leaps and bounds outside, Katja and Thorben have to fight for their love.
