Summer Storm - Move Over Brokeback

Here comes the rowers and they are cute.




















“Summer Storm” (Sommersturm)(Marco Kreuzpainter, in Spanish with English subtitles, 35mm, 98 minutes, 2004)

Gay audiences never seem to tire of “coming out, coming-of-age” stories and are unlikely to be disappointed by Marco Kreuzpainter’s sunny, “Summer Storm.”

Tobi (Robert Stadlober) and Achim (Kostia Ullmann) are teammates on a high school rowing team and longtime best friends.

A team leader and something of the class clown, Tobi becomes increasingly jealous as Achim becomes interested in Sandra. Hormones and emotions clash during annual summer rowing competition when Tobi and his teammates come face to face with the “Queerstrokes,” an all-gay rowing team from Berlin.
