I watched that movie for the first time about two months ago. Heartbreaking and beautiful. I passed it on to my German mom (born and lived in West Germany until age 21) and she was deeply moved as well.

Speaking with a young German woman this past winter who was born in East Berlin, she said that when she looks back at her life as a child in the east versus her teen years and present as a westerner, it is as though life went from black and white to color.

The best scene in the movie was near the end when Dreyman confronts the former Party Bigwig and tells him, “To think people like you used to run a country.”
