What Westwind Is About
Robert Thalheim’s 2011 film is set in the summer of 1988 and is based on a true story. Isabel and Doreen are East German twins training as rowers, and at a camp on Lake Balaton in Hungary they meet Arne and Nico, two young West Germans from Hamburg. The holiday flirtation turns serious, and as the camp ends Arne asks the inseparable sisters to leave for the West with him. The real tension is not at any border but between the two girls: the life Doreen is being offered and the rowing career they have built together for years cannot both happen. The story comes from what the film’s own producer lived through.
