Filmed as the GDR crumbled, this sombre and nuanced portrait of life in East Berlin depicts a young architect who feels his lfe and goals are being strangled by communist dogma, represented in part by the older generation.
Daniel Brenner, an idealistic young architect living in East Berlin, is deeply frustrated by life under the Communists but manages a sort of toleration. On receiving a plum assignment to design a small city development on the frignes of Berlin, he comes up with an innovative, almost spirited plan. But his optimistic design comes at a price, both personal and professional ... Filmed as East Germany crumbled, this sombre, finely-drawn portrait of life in East Berlin is one of the first feature films to deal with both East German and the upheavals associated with reunification.
