FREE ON YOUTUBE  As a child my parents always took me to the Grips Theater. Left children's theatre where the villains were: A) The father, B) The landlord, C) The boss. Then Grips author Volker Ludwig created a musical for adults. That was 1986 - a long runner, a giant success. And how would such a theatre musical work in the cinema? Reinhard Hauff directed Berlin Film entirely in the studio. With the theater actors out of their brains, but also with a new leading actress. She looks as cute as Nena and is called Sunnie (Inka Groetschel). Sunnie is new in Berlin, lands - as usual at that time - at the Bahnhof Zoo. This is how the Line 1 concept works: tourists and newcomers like Sunnie come across Berlin Aborigines. West Berlin Aborigines, because at that time we only lived in one half of the city. During the 80s they didn't necessarily want to head east - to Kreuzberg. But Sunnie did. Finally the U 1 goes direction Kreuzberg. To Schlesisches Tor. Behind it the sector border begins. On her way from Charlottenburg to Kreuzberg with the U1 Sunnie meets Pennern, Punks, Spontis, Spiessern, Turks, Faggots and Wilmersdorfer widows. They put the Nazi pension of their husbands in the Café Kranzler at the Ku-damm. So we are dealing with a real Berlin film. And you don't need helicopter shots from the TV tower! Line 1 is an artificial studio production, but still looks like a time travel to the Kreuzberg of the 80s. And don't we all miss it?
