East Germany 1992: 12-year-old Moritz spends his holidays at the same camping site as every year. His parent’s problems, the changes made by the new political system, and brutal swimming lessons have left their mark. When Enrico has an accident, Moritz is inspired to take matters into his own hands and no longer be a victim of his environment. LYCHEN 92 is an adaptation of the short story ELMER by Andreas Steinhöfel, set in the post-transition period in East Germany.
