Desc: Krankheit der Jugend: Directed by Henning Backhaus, Karl Bretschneider, Peter Brunner, Stefan Brunner, Tobias Dörr, Albert Meisl, Andrina Mracnikar, Henri Steinmetz, Alex Trejo. With Peter Brunner, Gerti Drassl, Markus Hering, Birgit Minichmayr. Promiscuous, pitiless, and bored, six sexually-entangled medical students restlessly wander in and out of a boarding house, cramming, drinking, taunting, spying. Freder sets about savagely experimenting with the pretty young maid, with half an eye on his former lover Desiree, a wild, disillusioned aristocrat. Petrell abandons Marie for ruthless underdog Irene. Marie doesn't waste any time weeping: Desiree wants her. Bourgeois existence or suicide; there are no other choices in 1923 Vienna. A discontented post-war generation diagnoses youth to be their sickness and does their best to destroy it.
