A doctor working in 1980s East Germany finds herself banished to a small country hospital.
Finely
directed character study draws a well-observed, realistic depiction of
Eat German society and life in the 1980s, a somber melodrama with a
touching ending; Nina Hoss is fully convincing in the title role as a
woman trapped in the restrictions, but also silently fighting against
them.
Maltin***: "Quietly absorbing story...Not every questioned is answered in Petzold's intriguing character study, which also evokes the oppressive atmosphere of life under the watchful eye of the secret police at that time."
