About
Rent on Apple TV+ or buy on Apple TV+.
Alex Kerner's mother was in a coma while the Berlin wall fell. When she wakes up he must try to keep her from learning what happened (as she was an avid communist supporter) to avoid shocking her which could lead to another heart attack.
Can a son fabricate an entire socialist utopia to protect his recovering mother from the shock of a reunified Germany? This clever comedy balances absurdly elaborate lies with a quiet, aching sincerity.
