Wie Feuer und Flamme<br />
NEVER MIND THE WALL<br />
68<br />
Nele is in love with Captain and Captain is in love with Nele. Sounds all sorted and easy?<br />
Well, it’s not because it’s 1982. Nele is living in the western part of divided Berlin; Captain,<br />
a punk, is living in the East. In between this young and precious love – the Wall, the parents,<br />
the clique, the secret police and, on top of that, a fatal and captious Super 8 film that was<br />
not meant to be taken so seriously. However, the two won’t give up, because they realize if<br />
you’re not prepared to fight for your love, you’ve lost already …<br />
