Casting a perceptive look at the last days of the GDR
(German Democratic Republic/East Germany), Beloved
Berlin Wall is a lively romantic comedy set against the
harsh historical facts of 1989, and a tale of a love
affair that becomes an act of civil courage. The GDR is
fading into oblivion, but its feared Secret Police has
enough time on its hands to hound a young East German
border guard and his West German girlfriend. Madcap
adventures and political upheavals ensue on both sides
of the Wall.
Produced by Heike Wiehle-Timm. Director of Photography:
Achim Poulheim. In competition from Bavaria Film
International.
