Der Sommer des Falken (1988)
At the foot of the Gamskogelwand: In summer, the summer of the falcon, an exciting and dangerous adventure awaits Marie, a girl who lives in the mountains and has a falcon as a friend, and Rick, a young punk from Berlin who is spending his vacation here with his father to learn hang gliding. A comical character appears in the idyllic village: Herbert Sasse, an eccentric pigeon breeder from Bottrop, who is searching for his prize-winning breeding pigeon with his radio direction finder, which has gone missing in this remote part of the Alps. The story really gets going when Marek Czerny, an enigmatic figure, shows up in the dreamy village and sets his sights on the falcon's nest. He is after the eggs – each one will fetch him $10,000, a fantastic deal! And so Rick from Berlin, Marie from the mountains, pigeon breeder Sasse from Bottrop, and Czerny, driven by pure greed, embark on a dangerous adventure.
