Vier Freunde (1981)
Die USA in den frühen 60er Jahren: Die titelgebenden "Vier Freunde" sind Danilo, Georgia, Tom und David, Jugendliche aus einem Arbeiterviertel in Chicago. Was das Kleeblatt zusammenhält: Die drei Jungen sind in das Hippiemädchen Georgia verliebt, aber die kann sich für keinen entscheiden - auch wenn Danilo letztlich ihre große Liebe sein könnte. Was die Freunde trennt, sind die sozialen Gräben, die die Vereinigten Staaten durchziehen. Da ist Danilo, das kluge Einwandererkind, das sich über das College bis an die Spitze der Gesellschaft vorarbeitet. Georgia, die freisinnige junge Frau, die für alle Moden der Zeit empfänglich ist. Tom, der gut aussehende Sonnyboy, der sich von seinem Land nach Vietnam schicken lässt. Und David, der - mit jüdischem Glauben - als Einziger der Freunde die Familientradition weiterführt...
