Beautifully tender and realistic story of a boy coming to terms with his sexuality, and the drama, the heartache and ultimately the sense of freedom that he experiences along the way. Fantastic acting from all the actors, as well as great direction and cinematography. And the film is helped with plenty of very funny moments. A definite film for anyone who likes a good story with great acting ( )

Tobi and Achim have been best friends for years. They have helped their team win several rowing cups and are now looking forward to the important regatta in the countryside. As Achim’s relationship with his girlfriend grows more serious, Tobi becomes confused and increasingly left out. As the tension grows, Tobi, Achim and the others head towards a confrontation as fierce and liberating as the summer storm gathering over the lake. Summer Storm highlights the emotional confusion of young people at the threshold of adulthood. Bolstering the film’s authenticity is the dazzling characterization of Tobi by Robert Stadlober.
