This intense and very moving documentary features four – out of approximately 250,000 – former political prisoners in East Germany. Sent to jail for openly opposing the East German regime, these four individuals recall their years of imprisonment and discuss their lives today. Nearly twenty years after the fall of the Wall, it is still difficult to answer the questions posed by their children and friends, and to come to terms with a very personal and painful past. “An important contribution to the cinematic debate about the GDR’s past.” – Der Tagesspiegel
