Jadup and Boel (1988)
Directed by Rainer Simon
Overview
In a small town, everyone has tried to forget what happened shortly after WWII. That is, until a stranger finds a book that Jadup (Kurt Böwe) gave to the young refugee Boel (Katrin Knappe), who resettled in the town over 30 years ago. Painful memories about Boel and the post-war period begin to surface and shake up the whole town. Boel vanished back then and nobody knew why. Word spread about a rape and some tried to blame a Russian soldier. Jadup, the town’s respected and popular mayor, remembers, though, how he mistrusted Boel and did not help her through this difficult time; HE didn’t even notice THAT Boel loved him. Jadup’s confrontation with the past gives him a new, critical view of his current situation and surroundings.
