Campus Cinema: When We Dreamed (Feature Film)

Movie Screening

Szene aus dem Film „Als wir träumten“

Dani, Mark, Rico, Pitbull, and Paul grow up in Leipzig in the years following German reunification—caught up in the frenzy of a time when anything seems possible. Nights of excess and the dream of owning their own techno club drive them on. But a right-wing gang challenges their turf, and the violence escalates. Caught between a sense of new beginnings and a feeling of disorientation, the friends struggle to find their place in their new lives. Andreas Dresen brings Clemens Meyer’s best-selling novel to the screen in a powerful, wild, yet tender film. The screenplay was written by Wolfgang Kohlhaase.
