It is 1989 and Alex (Daniel Bruhl) and his sister Ariane (Maria Simon) live in East Germany with their mother, Christiane (Katrin Sass). A staunch Socialist, Alex's mother suffers a heart attack when she sees Alex being arrested on a protest march, and falls into a coma for eight months - in which time the Berlin Wall comes down. When Christiane wakes up, doctors warn Alex that any shock could bring on a fatal heart attack, so he decides to convince his mother that her beloved Communism has not been overthrown, but is in fact triumphing over Capitalism; and Alex sets about recreating every detail of the old East Berlin in their flat.

I liked this film, the Movie Show called it sappy and unrealistic, but I think it's cute and very funny. Alex's mother has a heart attack and goes into a coma, when she is out the Berlin Wall has fallen but her family doesn't want to stress her as any shock could kill her, so they try and fake communism with what they have left. Amusing and touching with good actors. Daniel Bruhl has gone on to become quite a star.
