Back when Wedding was still rancid! With guys like S-Bahn driver Klaus (Heino Ferch), who thinks his wife is cheating on him. So he simply gets off the S-Bahn and walks over to Pankstrasse, where his wife works in the furniture shop (the S-Bahn just stops). While his wife Susanne (Angela Schmid-Burgk) is in customer service, he hits her, goes home and threatens his child - while the police arrive. Klaus flees, but he doesn't get far. Only as far as where Wedding ends - to the Berlin Wall... The year is 1989. Behind the Bauer lie the Jahn Stadium and the dilapidated grounds of the Eberswalde railway station, where the Mauerpark is today. "Why are you torturing me like this?" asks Susanne Klaus. "Because I love you," says the toxic husband. And here at the end of the world, at the Berlin Wall, his showdown ends. A shot from the policeman Markus (Roger Hübner) goes off. Klaus falls down dead, Markus walks away from the scene. Wedding, however, is neither thriller nor drama. Markus, who wants to get married in a week, meets his school friend Susanne, of all people, at the Eberswalde train station years later. She, in turn, is dating the good-for-nothing Sulle (Harald Kempe). Fortunately, director Heiko Schier doesn't make anything out of this constellation.... nothing. At some point Susanne and Markus have sex in an old shed and Sulle tries to drive his Ascona into the wall (but it doesn't work because the petrol runs out). Nice 80s funk comes out of the synthesiser and the focus is always on the scene: Wedding. Sulle claims to have gone to sea, Susanne would like to be on TV and Markus would like to be a commissioner. If only there hadn't been that fatal shot! These guys are never shown off, let alone betrayed. The film likes them just as much as Wedding. It's not about grand gestures! A few months later the Wall falls and the world of Susanne, Markus and Sulle will be a different one.
