Kinderland: A Childhood in East Berlin

Argumento

East Berlin, summer of 1989: Mirco Watzke is caught in a bind. Usually a model student, the seventh grader has got himself in trouble with a couple of bullies from the Free German Youth, and the only person who can help is the mysterious new kid in school...

Vivid and funny, tender and nuanced, Kinderland chronicles East Germany's final months as seen through the eyes of a child. It's a story of friendship, courage, and trust, but also of growing up between Young Pioneers and the church, fathers who 'disappear,' and a ping-pong tournament interrupted by the fall of the Berlin Wall.
