Sun Alley (Sonnenallee) or Sun Avenue is a 1999 German comedy movie directed by Leander Haußmann. Micha Ehrenreich and his friends live in the GDR of the 70s, in a street that begins in the west and ends in the east - the Berliner Sonnenallee. The apartment is tight, and the neighbor in the Stasi. The West uncle smuggles nylons and a green passport lets Micha's mother age for years. East, west: The most important thing for Micha is Miriam, who in turn wants a West German man. Nevertheless, Micha lays her life at her feet and learns to take it into her own hands.
