Sonnenallee

Based On the book by Thomas Brussig

Sonnenallee (Sun Avenue or Sun Alley) is a 1999 German comedy film about life in East Berlin in the early 1970s. The movie was directed by Leander Haußmann in his feature film debut. The film was released shortly before the corresponding novel, Am kürzeren Ende der Sonnenallee (At the Shorter End of Sonnenallee). Both the book and the screenplay were written by Thomas Brussig and while they are based on the same characters and setting, differ in storyline significantly.
