‘If you have to take me with you, at least I’d like to be fully dressed’
An East Berlin Love Story: This sweeping drama about two families living behind the Berlin Wall in the 1980s was one of the most–watched mini–series on German TV in 2010. The Romeo and Juliet–like story concerns the Kupfers, communist party loyalists whose patriarch, Hans, is a member of the notorious Stasi secret service, and the Hausmanns, a family of dissidents whose matriarch, Dunja, is under Stasi surveillance. When policeman Martin Kupfer and young trouble–maker Julia Hausmann fall in love, their politically forbidden relationship will rock the foundations of both families. Presented in its entirety this handsomely produced epic is an exciting Romeo and Juliet romance, and an enthralling history lesson.
