Bungalow

On the way back to the barracks after maneuvers, recruit Paul remains unnoticed at a rest stop. The company leaves, and Paul returns home to his parents' bungalow. They are away on a trip. His "home leave" quickly becomes complicated: The Bundeswehr is looking for him, his girlfriend Kerstin breaks up with him, and unexpectedly his older brother Max shows up with his Danish girlfriend Lene. "Ulrich Köhler's moving and minimalist film is a contemporary rebirth of the Nouvelle Vague of the 60s, a real discovery." (Cahier du Cinéma)
