almost perfect and brilliantly acted....

Whilst some of the story seems artificial .... this film shows a family coping with life in the DDR in the year leading up to "the fall of the wall" and it does it amazingly well.

The cast is uniformly excellent... the scenes between Heino Ferch and Veronica Ferres in particular are electric as Ferch realises the end is coming for the DDR.

Kostja Ullman and Karoline Herfuth are fine as the young lovers. Kostja has the more complicated character that evolves from punk to soldier and back again.

But the whole cast is excellent.

This is fine adaption of a true story.... well worth watching.

The film has been released on DVD in Germany and is now available in Australia with English subtitles.

Trivia
The whole movie takes place in Berlin. In reality, the church protests and first arrests and knock downs, which occurred during September and October 1989, took place in Leipzig and Dresden.
