Here is the storyline:

Tobi and Achim have been best friends for years. As cox and oarsman,
they have helped their team win several rowing cups in the past and
are now looking forward to the big regatta in the countryside. But
this trip is no summer camp anymore and the first problems soon arise.
The relationship Achim has with his girlfriend grows more serious at
the same time Tobi starts to realize that his feelings for Achim run
deeper than he is willing to admit to himself. He feels confused,
unsure of himself and increasingly left out. When the much-anticipated
Berlin female team is replaced by a team of athletic young gay men,
Tobi and his teammates are suddenly forced to grapple with their
prejudices, their fears, and, perhaps, their hidden longings. As the
tension grows, Tobi, Achim and the others head towards a confrontation
as fierce and ultimately as liberating as the summer storm gathering
over the lake.

Summer Storm highlights the emotional confusion of a young man at the
threshold of adulthood. The authenticity of this fim is the dazzling
characterization of Tobi by award-winning young Robert Stadlober (
Best Leading Actor at the Montreal Film Festival, 2001).
