"You must protect her from any kind of excitement. And I do mean any kind, Mr. Kerner."
1990's Berlin and a young man (Daniel Brühl) struggles to maintain the illusion that the GDR is still in existance to prevent his mother from having a fatal shock when she comes out of a coma. To do so he enlists some friends and a lot of inginuity, but can he keep this pretence up?
A fine comedy, that touches on life in post-communist Germany, but only lightly.
