Ideological, political differences divide too many families in this world. From the confession of her mother in the suburban garden, this woman in politics, work and even the family exposes her most sincere and vulnerable side as a woman. It can be seen that, in fact, the so-called political ideals are nothing compared to her thoughts of her lover all the time. Maybe the daughter-in-law who is also a woman can feel it. In fact, the mother's ability to accept new ideas and social changes is actually much stronger than the son imagined.
Mother spent a happy time in her lifetime, not because of the realization of political ideals, but because she saw everything her son carefully did for himself. The most touching scene is when the family sits in the ward and watches a decent newscast made by Alex and friends. Everyone knows it's a white lie but the joy is beyond words.
It takes place in the context of the reunification of East and West Germany, and describes the impact of this major historical event on personal life from the perspective of family changes. The music in the whole film is very good, full of the atmosphere of the times and full of warmth.
