Ein Sommertag macht keine Liebe

DDR 1960/1961 Spielfilm

During a weekend spent on the island Hiddensee, the snobbish high school student Jan, who has just been expelled from school, meets Christine. Christine is impressed with his bragging attitude although he just uses it to hide his insecurity and his remorse about the fact that he was sacked. Naturally, he keeps quiet about his current situation. Christine’s companion Hannes is less thrilled about Jan. Later on, the three of them meet again at a dockyard in Stralsund. After the disreputable end of his school career, Jan is assigned to the very brigade in which Christine and Hannes work as a crane operator and a brigadier respectively. Although the disgraced and confused Jan makes a lot of mistakes and the other colleagues keep railing against him, Christine still likes him. As they get closer, Jan slowly gains more self-confidence.
