If she can no longer stand it at home - so the suggestion from rock star Johnnie - Sunnie should come to him in Berlin . Now she stands alone at the Zoo train station in the morning and experiences how the train station and its clientele of homeless people and drug addicts wake up. She has to go to Kreuzberg , there she would find him, Johnnie had said. She takes the subway line 1 and ends up with unemployed people, pensioners and philistines. During the trip she meets Bambi, who informs Sunnie that her address in Kreuzberg does not exist. He promises to help her find Johnnie.
Bambi introduces Sunnie to his clique, which consists of Maria, an unemployed person, the punk couple Kleister and Lumpi, the old man, the meatball girl and the two girls Risi and Bisi. Then there is the pimp Mondo, who pours a sleeping pill into Sunnie's coffee. When she wakes up again, she is in the subway and is being eyed by four women. Suddenly the train suddenly comes to a stop. Lumpi, the punk, took her own life. Maria pulls the Sunnie up again. Bambi promises her that she will see Johnnie again at Zoo Station, and indeed she will. But the joy of the great reunion quickly fades when Sunnie realizes that she had imagined everything a little differently. The two separate ways again and Sunnie turns to Kleister in her grief and falls in love with him.
Differences to the stage version
The film version has some differences compared to the stage version, which becomes clear towards the end of the story, for example. In the stage version, “the girl”, whose name is never mentioned in the course of the play, ends up with the “boy in a trench coat”, in the film she loses her heart to paste.
In addition, some songs are missing from the film or have been replaced by others. So around 6:14 a.m. - Bahnhof Zoo was completely left out or Tag I hate you was replaced by the new song Berlin, Berlin . Other examples are Take the U-Train: Take the subway again and the courage to dream - Dare imagine , which has been severely shortened.
Reviews
“The attempt to bring a successful musical […] to the screen, which is only partially attractive. The dramaturgically bumpy sequence of skits, music and dance numbers does not lead to a closed story and also gives away the satirical sharpness of the original. "
The Wiesbaden film evaluation agency awarded the production the title valuable .
