- Part of series: DIVIDED HEAVENS: 100 YEARS OF KONRAD WOLF
Dir. Konrad Wolf
East Germany, 1964, 109m
Digital format
After a breakdown, Rita returns to her childhood village in 1961. As she recovers, she remembers the past two years: her love for the chemist Manfred, ten years her senior; how his enthusiasm about his new chemical process turned to bitter disappointment in the face of official rejection; how he escaped to West Berlin a few weeks before the Wall was built and hoped that she would follow him.
After the screening, comments will be offered by Lukas Siebeneicker, M.A. student in Comparative Literature at Freie Universität Berlin. Refreshments will be served.
