Friendship! [Freundschaft!]
In person: director Markus Goller
Growing up in East Germany, best pals Tom (Matthias Schweighöfer) and Veit (Friedrich Mücke) were cheerfully oblivious to many of the deprivations around them, preferring to escape into the fantasy world of amateur moviemaking. With the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, they set out on an epic road trip across the US, in search of Veit's dad in San Francisco, with little knowledge of English and even less cash. Many comic high jinks ensue in Markus Goller's high-spirited and sweet-natured buddy comedy, a box-office smash in Germany, based in part on producer Tom Zickler's own experience as an Ossi in America after the Wall came down. Official Selection, 2010 Karlovy Vary Film Festival.
DIR Markus Goller; SCR Oliver Ziegenbalg; PROD Quirin Berg, Max Wiedemann, Thomas Zickler. Germany/US, 2010, color, 110 min. In English and German with English subtitles.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
