Overview

Frank Lehmann, 20, still lives with his parents in the dreary high-rise housing project "Neue Vahr" in Bremen. It's the year 1980 and Frank gets drafted to the army even though his friends assure him that "he's not really the guy for it". When he gets back home, after his first week at the army, his Dad has turned his room into a TV repair shop, so Frank has to move out. Luckily his old friend Martin is starting a commune with two other Punks in Bremens leftist borough "Viertel". Frank, without further ado rents the unlivable walk-through room. From now on Frank is a traveler between the Worlds. Each week he goes from the Army, with all the unconditional rules and regulations to the commune where his friends are preaching the world revolution. Frank is trying to avoid to stick out, but fails miserably, in both worlds.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A fish-out-of-water comedy about a young man caught between the rigid conformity of military life and the idealistic chaos of punk communes in 1980s Bremen. It's a gently absurd character study of someone trying desperately to belong nowhere in particular.
