Überblick

DESSAU DANCERS combines the nostalgia for East Germany à la GOOD BYE, LENIN! with dance films such as the STEP UP and STREET DANCE. Dessau, East Germany, 1985: 18-year-old Frank and his friends have been infected by Breakdance fever. At first they are suspiciously monitored by the ruling regime. But when the socialist government realizes that it cannot stop them, they try to exploit them instead.
