All the talk about political systems and what not in the Tower and Dungeon made me want to point out this film. It has both drama and humor, and even though it's subtitled, it's good enough you'll probably watch it more than once. A woman falls into a coma before the fall of the Berlin wall and wakes up afterward. She is a naive idealist, fully sold on the old Soviet system and the promises it brought. She lived her simple life, a good woman, but hopelessly naive. So when she wakes up, her son can't bear to tell her about the changes and sets up elaborate attempts to keep her in the dark, happily living in her old ways. It's heartwarming, interesting and an absolute riot.
