Summer in Berlin is the story of two girlfriends who spend the evenings during a heat wave on their balconies, sharing their dreams.  Andreas Dresen, who made his breakthrough with 2002’s acclaimed Dogme-styled drama Grill Point, describes his socially precise portrayal of geriatric nurse Nike and unemployed Katrin as a "cheerful film about loneliness."  Dresen’s portrait of daily life in Berlin’s quickly gentrifying Prenzlauer Berg district is treated with warmth and humor.
