Plot
High school reunion, graduation class of 79: we meet again after 16 years. Three of us are missing, they have committed suicide in the intervening years. Shortly after graduation – 1979: Thilo, long hair, runs up a hill. Thilo is a fighter, for his music, for more justice in the world. Thilo breaks free and disappears to France with a buddy. They steal a car, end up in jail. A turning point?
Thilo wants to study medicine. Rudi, son of a greengrocer. At the horizontal bar, he can’t do much more than hang there like a wet sack. Rudi is popular, a ‘sweet guy’. He graduates with an ‘A’ average. His father wants him to become a lawyer.
Tilman played music with Thilo. He leaves high school after 11th grade, begins an apprenticeship as a metalworker. He moves to Berlin to avoid military draft. Thilo visits him there. He has few friends.
A film about a Stuttgart suburb, about the attempt to break away – and about people who have remained. What emerges is the portrait of a whole generation, one that has fallen through the grid of history.
