Artful mixture of different characters' views on the socialist reality of the last days of the GDR. Well played and beautifully shot. The film's key message seems to be left in the eye of the beholder, also regarding the unexpected turn at the end as well as the different side stories that are merely insinuated. I found it a bit confusing and unoriented, and therefore unsatisfactory.
