Endlich fliegen (1990)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

The dreams of young Andrea. The camera accompanies the seven-year-old girl in 1976 when she was at school dressed up and singing as a flying butterfly. Later, at the age of 17, she wanted to be "free" from her parents and tried to realize her dream as a dancer at a ballet school in Leipzig, but quickly failed and gave up. From then on, she works as a waitress in a restaurant because she is around people and feels comfortable there. She meets new people outside of her parental home, learns to discuss and represent other opinions. Her boyfriend accompanies her on her new path, but she can rarely see him as he works in another big city, which in turn leads to problems. The life of Andrea, now 19 years old, is portrayed here with excerpts from the film "Butterflies" and shows us what happened to Andrea's dreams of "flying and being free".

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
