Das Leben der anderen
East Berlin, November 1984: Five years before its end, the GDR state secures its claim to power with a merciless system of control and surveillance. When Lieutenant Colonel Anton Grubitz sets the loyal Stasi captain Gerd Wiesler on the successful playwright Georg Dreyman and his partner, the theatre star Christa-Maria Sieland, he hopes it will boost his career. After all, the highest political circles are behind the ‘operative procedure’. What he hadn't reckoned with: The intimate penetration into the world of those under surveillance also changes the informer. Immersing himself in THE LIVES OF OTHERS - in love, literature, free thought and speech - makes Wiesler realise the wretchedness of his own existence and opens up a world he has never known and from which he is increasingly unable to escape. But the system can no longer be stopped - a dangerous game begins that drags the love between Dreyman and Christa-Maria Sieland into the abyss and destroys Wiesler's previous existence. By the time the wall falls, everyone has paid a high price. Then another world begins.
