Sinopsis

The moving story of a brother and a sister caught in the tide of the Cold War Käthe is a Jewish sculptor living in East Berlin. A survivor of the Nazi era she is a fervent socialist who has been using her political connections to secure more significant commissions. Devoted entirely to success she is a cruel and abrasive mother to her children. She barely acknowledges Ella?s vulnerable loneliness and Thomas?s quiet aspirations and her hard-nosed brutality forces her children to build an imaginary world as a shelter from the coldness that surrounds them. As the Berlin Wall goes up dreams are shattered lives fall apart and this dark fairytale of East Germany unfolds.
