Zeit genug

1982 · 1 season

A gentle, unhurried coming-of-age story that drifts between village monotony and city bustle, warm but tinged with melancholy.

Genres
Family, Drama
Overview
Zeit genug is a German television series. It translates to 'Plenty of Time' in English. A young man (a railway enthusiast) suffers from the monotony of his Bavarian village and, after his father's death, moves to Munich to live with his uncle. Rather unwelcome there, he experiences the joys and sorrows of the big city, true love, and frustration. By the end of the six episodes, he knows what he really wants. Ernst Hannawald (still fresh in his role) as Willi and Toni Berger as Uncle Ignaz guarantee Bavarian quality.
