- Die 16-jährige Ostberlinerin Uschi (Annekathrin Bürger) lernt im HO-Bekeidungswarenhaus am Alexanderplatz den Beruf einer Verkäuferin. Als sie bei einer Modenschau Kleider vorführen darf, kommt sie auf die Idee, Mannequin zu werden. Aber ihre Eltern (Erika Dunkelmann und Erich Franz) sind damit nicht einverstanden. Eines Tages begleitet Uschi ihre Freundin nach Feierabend wieder mal in den Westsektor der Stadt. An einem Stand möchte sie sich etwas zum Naschen kaufen. Der Händler will zwar ihr Ostgeld annehmen, aber den Schein nicht wechseln. Das bekommt ein in der Nähe stehender junger Mann mit und bezahlt die Summe. "Lord" (Uwe-Jens Pape), seine lustige, unbekümmerte Art und auch sein Kofferradio gefallen Uschi, und sie geht noch ein Stück mit ihm spazieren. Er und sein Freund Hans (Ulrich Thein) wohnen im Westsektor und verdienen ihr Geld mit dem Waschen von Luxuslimousinen. Für Hans ist Uschi Liebe auf den ersten Blick. Als die Autowäscherei eines Tages dicht macht und "Lord" Berlin verlässt, ergreift Hans seine Chance bei der jungen Frau. Mit seiner ruhigen, zuverlässigen Art verzeichnet er bald Erfolge, und es entwickelt sich zwischen beiden eine zarte Liebe. Nach mehreren erfolglosen Versuchen findet er eine neue Arbeit bei einem Abbruchunternehmen. Er ermutigt Uschi, sich bei einer Mannequinschule anzumelden und übernimmt die Kosten. Sie verbringen sehr viel Zeit miteinander, und eines Tages, während eines starken Regens, geht Hans mit ihr in die Wohnung eines Freundes. Uschi vermutet, dass es seine ist, doch auch er wohnt noch bei seiner Mutter (Marga Legal). Da Uschi immer öfter spät nach Hause kommt, gibt es Ärger mit ihren Eltern. Nach einem heftigen Streit beschließt sie, zu Hans zu ziehen. Doch in seiner vermeintlichen Wohnung öffnet eine junge Frau, die ihr erklärt, dass Hans gar nicht hier wohnt. Mit einem Hoffnungsschimmer für eine gemeinsame Zukunft endet die Liebesgeschichte zweier junger Menschen - einem Mädchen aus Ostberlin und einem jungen Mann aus dem Westsektor der Stadt. Die noch vor dem Mauerbau entstandene Komödie steht in ihrer unpathetischen Romantik dem italienischen Neorealismus nahe und ist ein hochinteressantes Zeitdokument. Für Regisseur Gerhard Klein war Hauptdarstellerin Annekathrin Bürger eine Notbesetzung. Doch die damals 17-Jährige bescherte dem Film mit ihrer unbekümmerten, natürlichen Ausstrahlung großen Erfolg beim Publikum. Die Rolle der Uschi in "Eine Berliner Romanze" wurde zum Auftakt ihrer großartigen Schauspielkarriere - und aus der Romanze im Film wurde auch im wirklichen Leben Liebe: Annekathrin Bürger und ihr Filmpartner Ulrich Thein waren bis 1961 ein Paar.
- For 45 years East Germany was ruled by a strict and secretive communist government, on the geographical edge but political heart of the Soviet bloc. In 1987, a British film crew gained unprecedented access to film everyday life inside the GDR - but only the side of life the state let them see. In this doc the crew return to the places and people they visited then, to see how their lives have changed and how they recall the "workers' paradise".
- This documentary feature addresses the question of how gay men lived and could live their lives under 'real socialism', where GDR ideology considered homosexuality to be a remnant of bourgeois decadent morality and harmful to a socialist society. In that film we meet six men who talk openly about their social and intimate experiences, some for the first time, and get to know several individuals who could hardly be more diverse, or more contradictory. At one end of the scale is Frank Schäfer, a barber and a shrewd and resourceful individualist; at the other, Eduard Stapel, an academic theologist who founded a GDR-wide network of homosexual associations and upon whom the Stasi firmly set its sights. Even though homosexuality had not been punished since the 1950s, the conspiracy of silence, the condemnation, the pressure to conform to society and to sexual discretion remained. This story introduces us to a number of strong and - for all their pain - spirited men who were obliged to come to terms with their homosexuality alone, each with their own very different strategies for survival and adjustment.
