Humorous and authentic comedy about the former East Germany, 3 December 1999
8/10
Author: GMeleJr from Miami & Sao Paulo, BR

A very funny and entertaining adaptation of Thomas Brussig's novel (whose SONNENALEE has also been adapted to film recently). It is a semi autobiographical picture of life in the DDR (the former East Germany). Worth seeing.
