    The year is 1989 and East and West Germany are still divided. Alex (Daniel Brühl) and his sister Ariane (Maria Simon) live in East Germany with their single mother, Christiane (Katrin Sass) who is a staunch Socialist. When Alex's mother witnesses his arrest on a protest march, she suffers a heart attack and falls into a coma for eight months, just enough time for the Berlin wall to come tumbling down along with all of East Germany's ideals.

    Eight months later, Christiane wakes up and things have changed. The doctors warn Alex that any shock could bring on a fatal heart attack. He then realises he must convince his mother that her beloved Communism has not been overthrown but is in fact triumphing over Capitalism. Alex then sets out to recreate every detail of the old East inside the four walls of their tiny council flat... what begins as a little white lie, soon turns into a major deception!

    This is such a superb film. Don't let the fact that it is non english langauge movie put u off. Best version, if u don't understand german and u only speak english best version to get is the US or Canadian region 1.

     Funny and Moving...

    A Brilliant film with an especially brilliant soundtrack (from the immensely talented Yann Tiersen who also composed the soundtrack to Amelie). My only criticism would be that it can be a bit slow in places.

     Great modern, but historic film

    I don`t know why many English only speakers have a fear over "foreign" films. From what i`ve seen, they are far superior than any Amercian film. Maybe it`s the subtitles? Who knows. Anyway, this is a superb German film, starting off in 1989 when East and West Germany are still divided. During the film the Berlin wall is historically brought down. The story is excellent. You have to see the film as describing it all would spoil it.

     One of my favourite films of all time

    This film is funny, touching and dramatic, you might even pick up some German! I first saw this film in a school German lesson and once we finished watching it I had to purchase it on play.com because I was so taken by it. Now a year later I still enjoy it, you should definitely see it, perhaps the ultimate story surrounding the fall of the Berlin wall.
