Neptune Festival on the Baltic Sea, 1970

Impressions from the beach holiday at the Baltic Sea. The Neptune Festival is the absolute highlight for the children. It is a kind of fun baptism for adolescents and children where the baptizand are admitted to the kingdom of Neptune. It is a typical festival of the new federal states, which typically takes place at the Baltic Sea, lakes or swimming pools.
The excerpt is taken from the GDR advertising film "Holiday for millions", which shows most beautiful parts of the republic in which the holiday service of the Free German Trade Union (FDGB) has created opportunities for recreation for workers. A travel to some holiday areas of the GDR.
