Zuckersand (Feature Film)

Inspired by a boomerang Fred receives from the elderly neighbor Kaczmarek (Hermann Beyer), they decide to secretly dig a tunnel to Australia in an abandoned factory near the border to West Berlin.


But their world starts to shake: Fred’s loyal-to-the-party parents want him to be selected as a runner for the Olympic team, while Jonas’ mother applies for an exit visa. When the approval arrives, Jonas must follow his mother to the border crossing.


A poetic film about friendship, farewell, and the limits of childhood in the GDR.
