Yet another great movie from Germany, 19 May 2001
Author: Jan Folkersma (janf@dsdelft.nl) from Delft, Netherlands

I stumbled upon this film late last night on Dutch tv. Smitten I was! A story filled with sub-plots, symbolism and engagement. A love story in Berlin after "die Wende" dealing with kapitalism and aids and more things that hit the "Ossies" by surprise. Filled with lots of lovely and funny characters, all displayed by great acting performances. A MUST SEE!
