Director Marco Kreuzpaintner’s stirring tale of summer love and passion set against a backdrop of summer camp rowing competitions. In other words, lots of beautiful young men in shorts…
Tobi has been questioning his attraction to his best friend Achim for awhile. As cox and oarsman, the two young men have helped their team win several rowing cups in the past and are now looking forward to the summer’s big race. But complications arise quickly as the young men's feelings run deeper than they realize. When the much-anticipated Berlin girls' team is replaced in the race by a team of athletic, cliché-bursting young gay men, Tobi and his teammates are forced to grapple with their prejudices, their fears, and, for some, their secret desires. 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.
"Summer Storm" highlights the emotional challenges of a young man questioning his sexuality at the threshold of adulthood. Bolstering the film's authenticity is the dazzling characterization of Tobi by award-winning young Robert Stadlober (Best Leading Actor at the Montreal Film Festival, 2001).
