Synopsis

On 24th August 1992 in the eastern German city of Rostock a rampaging mob, to the applause and cheering of more than 3,000 bystanders, besieged and set fire to a residential building containing, among others, more than 120 Vietnamese men, women and children on what has since become known as "The Night of the Fire."

The riots became a symbol for xenophobia in the just recently reunited Germany.

This film recounts the incident from the perspectives of three very different characters.

Lien is a Vietnamese woman who settled in Germany, but at the end of the day she will be fighting for her life wondering if the place she called home could ever be one for her.

Stefan and his friends are part of the night's violent turmoil. Young and angry, bored during the daytime, they look forward to the nightly riots and clashes with the police and foreigners. Unable to cope with his grief at the loss of a friend, Stefan gets lost in a circle of violence.

Stefan's father Martin is an ambitious local politician, trapped in a dilemma: does he advance his career or stand up for his ideals and take responsibility, which includes that for his son?

2/10

The soundtrack of We Are Young. We Are Strong. fails to capture the emotional depth and complexity of the themes explored in the film. The music feels generic and uninspired, lacking the necessary gravitas to enhance the viewing experience.

While the musical score of We Are Young. We Are Strong. is undeniably well-crafted and complements the film's narrative, it may at times feel overpowering and melodramatic. The dramatic crescendos and intense orchestration can occasionally overshadow the subtlety of the performances and the nuances of the storytelling. A more restrained approach to the soundtrack could have allowed for a deeper exploration of the characters' inner conflicts and relationships.

The soundtrack of We Are Young. We Are Strong. missed the opportunity to incorporate elements of Vietnamese music or cultural influences, which could have added a unique and authentic layer to the storytelling. Instead, the music feels disconnected from the characters' backgrounds and fails to create a more enriching viewing experience.
