Synopsis: A woman enters in a coma just prior to the big changes that led to the downfall of the East Germany regime and only wakes up months after. His son, afraid that the news might worsen her condition, conceals what went on from her.
Appraisal: Another one-joke movie, playing with a far-fetched idea for a few comic or dramatic dividends. A poor screenplay makes those dividends scarce. The technical aspects are quite professional and some individual sequences are well handled, but they are inserted in a story that I really couldn't bring myself to care about. Matters are made even worse by some silly character behavior that is revealed as a surprise near the none-too-soon ending.
