Abschied von gestern (1966)


The story of Anita G., a young East German migrant to West Germany and her struggle to adjust to her new life.

A classic of New German cinema which coolly and at times whimsically depicts the tragic fate of its protagonist using diverse methods of alienation.

Halliwell*: "Witty and remarkably light-hearted satirical comedy which can be fully understood only by those living in Germany in the sixties."
