Radio Heimat

A homage to the Ruhr area, based on the short stories of the Bochum cult author Frank Goosen: 'Radio Heimat' accompanies the four friends Frank (David Hugo Schmitz), Pommes (Jan Bülow), Spüli (Hauke Petersen) and Mücke (Maximilian Mundt) in the middle of the Pott, in the middle of puberty and in the middle of the 80s on their search for the first great love and the first sex. And main character Frank in particular has a painful wish, namely to end up with Carola Rösler (Milena Tscharntke). Undaunted, our four heroes go into the petty war of the sexes and complete the almost insurmountable initiation rites that the Ruhr area holds out against any becoming a man: Pilsner drinking, Pöhlen and fries red and white. Frank's father probably had it a little easier with his coal dust chutzpah in the ironic, transfiguring 60s flashbacks: In terms of love, everything went by itself, or rather as the lady of the heart wanted it. And so there is only one thing left for our heroes: try everything out for themselves. Only after a series of defeats do they understand what is really important in life: no sayings from parents, grandparents and teachers, but friendship, humor and someone who is good for them.
