Lindenstraße - Paul & Mika

[justinate]

I guess it's testament to the declining interest in the German-speaking gay soap scene that this teenage couple has been around for months without so much as a mention on this board. Paul is played by Ole Dahl and Mika by Lasse Möbus. The former appears to be a regular character for the last decade but Mika is just a guest star. I'm not sure what their current status is, nor could I find any clips except for these slideshows of caps from the series. The show is presently on its summer hiatus and when it returns it will be for its final season as it has been cancelled.

You can actually watch full episodes in here, but they are available only in German.

Paul and Mika are in episodes 1713-1714 and 1722-1726.

SPOILERS:
So basically it's a little teenage rebellion and coming of age story. Mika is living in a hipster community with his mother. They have a rather revolutionary way of life (against capitalism, traditional values, rules etc) while Paul has a usual bourgeois family.

After a few interactions with Paul's family (Paul's mother slapped him while he was missing for a whole day) Mika tells him that he is just a little boy who is under his parents' influence. To prove himself Paul claims that he smeard a window with paint to protest against the construction of a new luxury hotel. Later he admits to Mika that he didn't do that, but in the middle of the night boys go out together, smash the window and spray walls with graffiti. Paul's father finds out and he moves together with Mika. Paul's parents are worried because he skips final exams at school. His mother (who is working in a clinic) counterfeits some medical documents so that Paul could do his exams a few months later. Her boss finds out and she resigns. Paul's father pleads him one more time to come home. Paul decides for his family and against Mika, because he finally understands that Mika is trying to control his life as much as his parents did. Paul promises to his parents to find a job and finish school next year. 

Sorry for my bad English!

Thanks for the info, and there's no need to apologize - your English is perfectly fine!

Thanks especially for the episode numbers, you can easily search Lindenstrasse + the episode number on Youtube and turn on the German captions, auto-translate to English and you're set. It's not perfect but you can get the gist. I've finished episode 1713 and have to say the kissing at the end was seriously hot. Lasse is 18-19 but how old is Ole? I feel a bit lecherous because his character's repeatedly said to be underage (but I saw an article which said the character was 16?)

I hope someone will sub it.
