Potsdam, 1985, the long summer holidays. Sixteen-year-old René stays at home this year: his mother is dead, and his father, away in Switzerland, has left him a thousand marks, which he shares with his friends Dirk, Michael and Mario. All four sense that this is a summer that will never come again. They roam the hot, emptied city, sit around in cafés trying to outdo each other in wit, and above all look for the right girl. Along the way, the late GDR comes into view, with its privileged families and its ordinary ones.
