A beautiful movie about socialist East Germany, the strife between the people on either side of the party, table, wall and humanity. Also about free speech, the need to use it, and in the correct place and measure. And to think. And to choose sides carefully. Many times. Many potential twists, some guessable based on who and what you are. Good editing, especially of dialogues. Could make out the turning point as it happened. See if you can. The last sequence is powerful, telling us of the importance and strength of non-verbal communication. The last sentence is cute.
