This is a great movie. In 1989, Alex Kerner's mother, a patriotic East German socialist, suffers a heart attack and falls into a coma shortly before the Berlin Wall falls. Eight months later she awakens too fragile to survive any sort of extreme shock -- so her family conspires to hide the fall of the DDR from her with an increasingly elaborate fantasy-history of German reunification.

Excellent, excellent. You must see it.

Hard to believe this was sixteen years ago. I was ten at the time. Now I'm old and busted.
