The eternal song of love and freedom. Where will the birds fly when the day is over?
German filmmakers told another story of growing up, in which youthful maximalism and adult callousness clashed.
Given the time of the film (the early 80s of the 20th century), we can assume that the story was based on personal memories and impressions of the filmmakers.
“Maybe we’re all just strangers?” one of the film’s characters asks. Each traveler has his own life experience, his own view of the world. Tragedy happens when each of them claims their right to this world. And not always everything is resolved on the basis of love and freedom, sometimes selfishness and diktat come into play.
The eternal conflict of fathers and children is absent where love and freedom live in the family, and is played out where there is no love. Or it's not enough. Or it takes on distorted forms.
The heroes of the film do things that they are not always ready to agree with. There are no unambiguous accents. No grades. There is only the flow of life, sometimes very simple and happy, sometimes very complex and tragic.
And then there's rockabilly music. Rhythms of youth, energy, freedom.
“I think the very feeling of flying will be remembered. Everything else will be forgotten.
The score is good.
