Rock'n'Roll

Running time: 1987 | 20' | GER

Judy is an office clerk, Dean is a plumber. They spend their free time dancing. A dance that the GDR has declared war on. Straddling with reproach was treated as the work of Satan. The Seebrücke restaurant in Ahlbeck said on a sign at the entrance: Studs in studded pants undesirable! But Judy and Dean don't care about this clash of cultures, they have to dance.
