Synopsis
Hot summer. Nike has a balcony, Katrin has a son, Ronald drives a truck, Tina's a waitress, Oskar and Helene are old and alone. At the beginning, middle or end of their lives – they all ask the same question: Can love last through the seasons? Or is it something affecting the brain that just comes and goes?
Summer in Berlin is the story of two girlfriends, who, from their balcony - between heaven and earth - gaze down at their turbulent and difficult universe, where the right men are all too often exactly wrong, and to get ahead even a good-looking woman had better be strong.

Critics' reviews
- "Nothing much is original in this soggy tale of two German women whose friendship persists despite adversity and their own bad choices."
- "Entertaining but hardly memorable."
- "The movie tends to wander between story lines and characters without any real sense of purpose."
