A magical night at the “black water filled with stars”: for a short moment, a group of teenagers overcome all social divides. Lovestruck and in high spirits they “sail up to heaven”. But their hopes will soon be crushed by reality; the teenagers of the past meet again in the present, which has cemented parallel worlds and mutual prejudices. Roland Schimmelpfennig is a master at interweaving the past with the future. His melancholy, poetic perspective conjures up the innocence of life’s first great love and the utopia of mutual understanding beyond social differences.
