About Der Sommer mit Boiler
Shortly before her wedding, Sonja meets a photographer in the botanical garden. On a whim, she tells him the love story of her youth: in the summer of 1976, 12-year-old Sonja moves to the countryside with her family. Here she meets the boy next door, a quirky outsider who everyone just calls Boiler. Sonja and Boiler share the same passion: they want to be in the movies. A tender rapprochement begins. They soon plan a joint project, an "agent film", which they shoot in the nursery's greenhouse. Nevertheless, Sonja is unable to commit herself wholeheartedly to Boiler. She denies her friendship with Boiler in front of her clique. She betrays him again and again. Finally, Sonja instigates a dangerous test of courage in which Boiler puts his life at risk...
Directed by Anna Justice, Der Sommer mit Boiler leans on a strong ensemble — Pablo Ben-Yakov, Stephanie Charlotta Koetz, Karina Krawczyk — 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 screen titles of 2000.
