However, this explosive, historical background is almost told in passing. The focus is on main character Martin. The young East German border guards is sent for espionage in the Federal Republic of Germany and introduced into a Bundeswehrkaserne. Suddenly stands the 24-year-old between systems. And therefore, of course, also plays the pop culture of the eighties their peace demos , the omnipresent sound of Neue Deutsche Welle, Nescafé, cigarettes, Puma logo-Shirts and Levis 501 a stylish role

Immediately under his spell The 25-year-old with the bullying drama “Home Video” (Grimme Award and 14 other awards!) And the ZDF trilogy “Tannenbach” has been known.
