The Rise And Fall of the Wall – The Cinema of East Germany

Iron Age

Eisenzeit

Thomas Heise

Ten years later, the director returns to Stalinstadt, now called Eisenhüttenstadt, where his never-completed documentary Anka und… was filmed. The protagonists, born around the time the Wall was built, mostly left: Mario, Tilo, Karsten and Frank all moved to Berlin, where Mario and Tilo hanged themselves in the final days of the GDR. Frank became involved in the drug scene and only Karsten leads a good life. Anka remained behind with her daughter.
