Complications from an early marriage
15 September 2023
'Grüne Hochzeit' (= green marriage) is a well-made film about two youngsters. The girl gets pregnant, resulting in their early marriage.

Thereafter, the permanent shortage of money makes itself felt. With all pressures, complications & worries that comes to it.

This film's plot was set in 1988, in the last full year of Communist East Germany -- the former DDR. Built up with good German craftmanschip, and developping in a not-too-fast, convincing way.

A remarkable feature: 'Grüner Hochzeit' opens with a scene of 'Sieben Sommersprossen' -- director Herrmann Zschoche's most famous film from ten years earlier.

Zschoche characterizes GH as 'Sieben Sommersprossen' a few years later'.
