The quote from Jan Stuart of Newsday on the DVD cover reads: "They don't come any sweeter or more appealing than this." I concur. This German film about two friends, one straight one gay, who are members of a Bavarian rowing club and who spend a summer at a rowing camp where secrets are revealed is simply wonderful. A great sound track, and some very evocative cinematography embellish the story. It's a film that shows us all how far we've come in the acceptance of gay sexuality and reminds us that we still have a ways to go but "danke Gott" we are where we are.

I would want every gay adolescent to see this film. It will give you hope.
