Немецкое ретро о любовных и политических забавах молодых дрезденцев в 1961 году. ГДР глазами юного провинциала предстает страной первых поцелуев, ночных денс-клубов и безбашенных драчунов с режимом. Вскоре, однако, невинные шалости непуганой молодежи перерастают в серьезные стычки с Системой, романтическое увлечение — в любовную драму, а Берлин оказывается разделенным легендарной Стеной.
