Film: Sperrmüll/Bulky Trash

Dir. Helke Misselwitz GDR, 1990, 72 min. In German with English subtitles East Berlin, summer 1989: A young East Berliner navigates the final months of the GDR. Enrico has quit his apprenticeship to focus on the punk band Sperrmüll ('Bulky Trash'), which he founded with three friends from their high-rise housing development. Making music with what other people discard helps him let off steam and frustrations with his family, politics and his country. When his mother and sister move to West Berlin, he holds on to his beliefs and decides to stay and insists on maintaining his cultural identity even after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
