However, these are tumultuous times, and East Germany is on the brink of dramatic political and cultural change. Christiane Kerner is a dedicated socialist activist helping to improve the lives of those around her. But after seeing her son Alex getting arrested in a protest rally she suffers a heart attack and falls into a coma. Months pass, all the while the Germany she once knew is being transformed from the relentless triumph of capitalism after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the reunification of Germany. Knowing that the slightest shock could prove fatal when his mothers awakens, Alex strives to keep the fall of the GDR a secret for as long as possible from his bed-ridden mother. We follow Alex through his often comical yet sincere attempts to keep a pre-Wall façade; but when his game takes on a life of its own, long buried family secrets surface as East Germans around them experience freedoms for the first time.
