About North Curve
Drinking, fighting, sex and soccer matches - on Saturday, the people in the Nordkurve have nothing but pleasure on their minds. It's all about lust at any price, fighting with all means, intrigue, deceit and blackmail. After all, the all-important game takes place in the afternoon and 40,000 people want to be there. Everyone is preparing for it in their own way, everyone wants to make the deal of a lifetime. Substitute player Niebitsch is eagerly awaiting his appearance. Player agent Roland F. Beyer is trying to pull off the really big deal. The club is on the brink of financial ruin. President Vischering only thinks about the invitation to appear on "Aktuelle Sportstudio". And Gottschalk begins to systematically get drunk. In the end it is clear: Herberger's wisdom "The game lasts 90 minutes" is wrong. The game lasts all day, every Saturday...
Directed by Adolf Winkelmann, North Curve leans on a strong ensemble — Renate Krößner, Daniel Berger, Walter Kreye — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1993.

2003 6.7
In October 1989, the part of the West Berlin borough of Kreuzberg called SO 36, had been largely shut off by the Wall from the rest of the city for 28 years. A lethargic sub-culture of students, artists, bohemians and barflys had flourished among crumbling buildings. Part of that microcosm is barkeeper Frank, semi-formally called 'Herr Lehmann' by friends and patrons. He hangs out drinking, sports utter disregard for anything beyond SO 36 and lazily pursues an affair with cook Katrin. His lifestyle is gradually disturbed, when his parents show up for a visit, things go awry with Katrin and his best friend Karl starts to act strange. Meanwhile, political turmoil mounts on the other side of the Wall.
