Movie

Die Vergebung

Two years after reunification: A married couple suspects the husband's brother-in-law, a former Stasi officer, of being responsible for the husband's interrogations. As an insurance agent, the ex-officer has made it in the "new" Germany, while the couple are among the victims of reunification and their daughter also suffers from the chemical legacy of the GDR. Events escalate at a family celebration, but the real victims are not the parents; it is the children who have to pay the price.
