About the movie:

Before the collapse of the Berlin Wall, East Germany’s population was closely monitored by the State Secret Police or Stasi. Only a few citizens above suspicion, like renowned pro-Socialist playwright Georg Dreyman, were permitted to lead private lives. But when a corrupt government official falls for Georg’s stunning actress-girlfriend, Christa, an ambitious Stasi policeman is ordered to bug the writer’s apart-ment to gain incriminating evidence against the rival.

Now, what the officer discovers is about to dramatically change their lives – as well as his – in this seductive political thriller Peter Travers (Rolling Stone) proclaims is „the best kind of movie: one you can’t get out of your head.“

About the movie:

Nick Keller is a real loser who gets fired from every job he takes, and his new job as janitor in a psychiatric clinic he keeps only a single day. As he leaves the hospital, he is able at the last minute to prevent a young woman from committing suicide  - but with unexpected consequences. The girl Leila secretly follows her savior and turns up on his door-step barefoot and in her night-gown. All of Nick’s attempts to get rid of her are futile – Leila has decided to stay with him forever…

Nick, who never took on any responsibility in his life, and Leila, who sees the world around her with child-like wonder, go on a journey together that will change their lives…
