After the divorce, Hanne and her son Niels move to an old friend - Peter - in a rural commune that is demonstrating peacefully against the Brokdorf nuclear power plant . Niels befriends the mayor's daughter and the somewhat slow rocket, while he has significant differences with the staunch pacifist Peter. Everything went upside down when on April 29, 1986, the day the series character Bobby Ewing from Dallas died, the news about the Chernobyl nuclear disaster hit the news.
While in the village protection devices against the radioactive fallout that threatens to come from the east are being installed by the population (for example foil covers on windows and over flower beds), Peter is increasingly coming into conflict with himself and his environment, whereupon he leaves the community for Portugal .
Hanne finds her son again, who has decided to join the Bundeswehr . In the period that followed, Bobby Ewing returned to the Dallas series , the Brokdorf nuclear power plant went online, but no further planned nuclear power plants were built on the Lower Elbe.
Reviews
- For Thomas Schlömer of Filmspiegel, the very beginning of the film is “like an unimaginative copy of the corresponding sequence from Wolfgang Becker's' Good Bye, Lenin! '", Which for him" leaves no doubt as to the film's claim and [gets in the mood for the following 100 minutes of shallow entertainment. "
- Schnitt.de, on the other hand, sees the 1980s in a flashback “under the surface characterized by funny equipment and nostalgic humor”, which is particularly emphasized by the “excellent” Peter Lohmeyer, “to give the impression that the 80s are somehow even further away act as they actually are. "
- The lexicon of the international film says: “An entertaining, precisely reconstructed and excellently played mixture of political satire, provincial comedy and coming-of-age story, which never sardonically, but lovingly and melancholy describes a state of limbo of disorientation caused by the reactor -Chernobyl disaster is shaken and reveals an explosive nature of the issue that is still current today. "
