Storyline

West Berlin, summer 1968: the attitude to life at the time through the eyes of (at least) three different quartets: the anarchic bards of "Insterburg & Co." wander through the backyards of Kreuzberg, passing the time with silly poems, homemade instruments and their playmates. The lively Jacob Sisters and their four poodles make guest appearances as international show stars in the luxury hotels. And postcard Berlin is presented by four oil sheikhs who are on a state visit.

A staggering achievement of craft and ambition. Ulrich Schamoni's vision lands with breathtaking precision.

Every frame feels alive. Quartet in Bed is the rare release that takes its audience seriously.
