# Sonnenallee (1999)

1999 · 92 min · Drama, Comedy · Germany


## Synopsis

Sonnenallee is a 1999 German comedy film about life in East Berlin in the early 1970s. The movie was directed by Leander Haußmann in his feature film debut. The film was released shortly before the corresponding novel, Am kürzeren Ende der Sonnenallee. Both the book and the screenplay were written by Thomas Brussig and while they are based on the same characters and setting, differ in storyline significantly. Both the movie and the book emphasize the importance of pop-art and in particular, pop music, for the youth of East Berlin. Sonnenallee was broadcast in the Czech Republic under the title Eastie Boys.
