To say how good the filming is, it’s actually a melodrama, but I really like the romanticization in the story. Let time and time freeze in a room like this. When my mother walked out of the room and passed by the portrait of Lenin hanging by a helicopter in the sky, that moment was really poetic. Going forward, Dawahiri lacks this kind of romance, and remembering the revolutionary era without romantic feelings, that is, the three views are wrong.

Alexander Kerner: [voiceover] My mother outlived the GDR by three days. I believe it was a good thing she never learned the truth. She died happy. She wanted us to scatter her ashes to the winds. That's prohibited in Germany, both East and West. But we didn't care.
[launches rocket]
Alexander Kerner: She's up there somewhere now. Maybe looking down at us. Maybe she sees us as tiny specks on the Earth's surface, just like Sigmund Jähn did back then. The country my mother left behind was a country she believed in; a country we kept alive till her last breath; a country that never existed in that form; a country that, in my memory, I will always associate with my mother.

Denis: It's my best production ever. A pity your Mom will be the only audience...
