action
For the unskilled worker Sulawski, known as “Sulle”, things are currently going wrong: First his girlfriend lets him sit down and then his beloved Ascona is also seized (“You must have jeschissen in your brain!”). The situation with the fashion seller Susanne is also lost, her marriage is in ruins. When she is attacked by her morbidly jealous husband Klaus at work and he then takes their son hostage, the situation escalates. Klaus is finally shot by the aspiring police officer Markus, who is about to marry a "higher daughter".
At the end of this memorable day, Sulle, Susanne and Markus, who are old childhood friends and grew up together in Wedding, happened to meet again after years in their old hiding place, a warehouse near the Berlin Wall. You have to admit that your life dreams have failed. They spend the rest of the day and night together, hanging out between the zoo and Wedding and dreaming about their school days together.
background
Heiko Schier from Düsseldorf, then in his mid-thirties, had approached his first feature film, “Wedding”, through film essays in the “ Little TV Game”. Schier lived in Berlin since 1974 and liked the big city, "the madhouse, the wilderness, the adventure"; the wedding was his adopted home. At the time, the district was still largely surrounded by the wall . The film was shot on 18 days with a budget of 400,000 marks and without television participation. The film was shot at what was then the Eberswalder Strasse freight yard , now part of the Mauerpark , and u. a. on the Möbel-Höffner parking deck in Pankstrasse .
reception
After its premiere at the Hof Film Festival, the film received a lot of recognition. The city magazine tip , at that time also perceived as a film magazine because of its extensive film section, dedicated a cover story to the film.
The film service judged that the “ film , which cleverly balances the tragic and the comic, tells the story of the Berlin 'scene' in straightforward images; However, it always loses its dramaturgical cohesion where the qualitatively all too different play of the main actors comes into play ”.
