“Good Bye, Lenin!” quotes
(2003)Plot – Germany, October 1989. Alex's mother is a social activist who aims to improve the socialist regime life, but then she falls into a coma and awakens only eight months later. By then, the Berlin Wall is torn down and the division between East and West Germany is abolished. Alex is happy for his mother but he has a big problem: her heart is still weak, so to prevent her from discovering what's happened, he turns their apartment in a sort of socialist museum, but problems start when she's able to get out of bed and to watch tv.
