A film by Annekatrin Hendel. In German.

Since the late 1940s, the Brasches have been the per­fect fami­ly of par­ty offi­ci­als, living the German dream of socia­lism in the Soviet zone of occu­pa­ti­on. Horst Brasch, a pas­sio­na­te anti-fascist, is hel­ping to build an East German sta­te which his wife, Gerda, won’t con­sider home. Their son Thomas is a bud­ding lite­ra­ry star. Like his father, he dreams of a more just world, but like youn­ger brot­hers Peter and Klaus, he is cri­ti­cal of the way in which socia­lism has been imple­men­ted. As they do ever­y­whe­re else, the gene­ra­ti­ons clash in East Germany in 1968. Horst turns Thomas over to the aut­ho­ri­ties — trig­ge­ring the end of his own care­er in the pro­cess. After 1989, socia­list dreams of any kind are no lon­ger of value. Director Annekatrin Hendel deli­vers a por­trait of three gene­ra­ti­ons of Brasches as a micro­c­osm of socie­tal ten­si­ons being car­ri­ed out on a lar­ge sca­le — bet­ween East and West, art and poli­tics, com­mu­nism and reli­gi­on, love and betra­y­al, uto­pia and self-destruction.
