Summary: In this landmark film about rebellious youth, a group of teenagers meet daily on Schöenhauser Street in East Berlin to dance to rock n roll, swap Western goods and escape the control of their parents and the State. A box office hit, later banned by East German officials and since ranked by film critics as one of Germany's 100 most important films, Berlin-Shöenhauser Corner is a "classic cult film" (Washington Diplomat) as well as a "perceptive social portrait" (The Museum of Modern Art, New York).
