The risk of foregoing tenderness and artifice
Residing in East Berlin in 1989, Christiane firmly believes that socialism could change the world for the better, but his son Alex gets arrested in an anti-government rally that demands for the fall of the Berlin Wall. Having learnt of the news, Christiane gets a heart attack and falls into a coma. After Alex has returned home while his mother is unconscious, the Wall falls and capitalism arrives. Because the doctor warns of the possible lethal consequence of stimulating Christiane, Alex and his cohorts mobilise their imagination to reconstruct a world around Christiane to make her believe that the GDR still exists.
This critically and popularly acclaimed tragicomedy moved local and international audiences to tears upon its release. It playfully and poignantly expresses that disorienting period of change and nostalgia, making it one of the most memorable films of German cinema.
