I feel like people don’t appreciate it as much as they should. I live in Leipzig and therefore am a bit more aware of how it’s here. I might not have experienced being a teen in 90s germany but my dad did. He told me all about it. He even knew the author of the book and a few of the people it is about. He thought „Paul“ how to pick car locks. Even he as someone who lived it thinks it’s good. The acting does feel fake at some points but in general it’s good.
