Mother and daughter, both from the GDR: one experienced it, the other did not. Tamara was born in 1990. Like many of the post-reunification generation, she left her homeland and only comes to visit for her milestone birthday. But everything that seemed secure crumbles within a few days: Tamara (Linda Pöppel) and her mother Barbara (Lina Wendel) are left. The two struggle to maintain their relationship, which cannot be detached from the social developments in which the family was born, grew and disintegrated. Now Tamara must face what she has been running away from: her own history.
Reviews
Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
