Good Bye Lenin!

DVD, Rated R, German with English subtitles, 121 mins..
In 1989, Alex's socialist mother, Christiane, remains comatose through the fall of the Berlin wall. Keeping their apartment firmly rooted in the past, Alex's scheme works for a while, but it's not long before his mother is feeling better and ready to get up and around again. Funny, moving, and highly recommended.
