Filmography
Reviews
- Lexicon of international film: The film focuses on a torn Leipzig official family, the monitoring apparatus of the Stasi and two parishes, retreats in a sea of lethargy and cynicism. He strives for historical truth and consistency in detail, but sometimes gets in the vicinity of popular fiction.
