Summer Storm

One summer can change everything Tobi and Achim have been best friends for years. As cox and oarsman, they have helped their team win several rowing cups in the past and are now looking forward to the big regatta in the countryside. But, this trip is no summer camp and the first problems soon arise. As Achim's relati­onship with his girlfriend grows more serious, Tobi starts to realize that his feelings for Achim run deeper than he's willing to admit to himself. He feels confused, unsure of himself and increasingly left out.

When the much anticipated Berlin girls' team is being replaced by a team of athletic, clich bursting young gay men, Tobi and his team mates are suddenly forced to grapple with their prejudices, their fears, and, perhaps, their hidden longings. As the tension grows, Tobi, Achim and the others head towards a confrontation as fierce and ultimately as liberating as the summer storm gathering over the lake…

Critic Reviews:

• " It's sunny and frothy, with odd laugh-out-loud moments. " – Roger Moore

• " Summer Storm envisions a world where adolescents find their affections and orientation up for grabs, with the outcome a bit more important than winning gold, silver or bronze. " – David Lamble

• " A lovely wallow in the sweaty pains and joys of mostly gay adolescent love. " – Ella Taylor
