Four young Berliners escape from their rigid city lives and travel to the countryside armed with bathing suits, picnics and record players in search of frivolity. The city in this 'City Symphony' is characterised as bustling, dirty and a sophisticated yet confining counterpoint to the freedom found in the countryside. People on Sunday is an astonishing first film by several rising filmmakers who were soon to become Berlin exiles working in Hollywood, including Robert Siodmak, Billy Wilder, Fred Zinnemann, Eugen Schüfftan, and Edgar Ulmer. A sardonic, witty view of how the working class spends its leisure time, swimming, snoozing, and flirting.

Ages 15+
