In 1980s East Germany, Barbara is a Berlin doctor banished to a country medical clinic for applying for an exit visa. Deeply unhappy with her reassignment and fearful of her co-workers as possible Stasi informants, Barbara stays aloof, especially from the good natured clinic head, Andre.
A quiet, simmering tension pervades this East German drama. It's a film about suppressed emotions and the constant, low-grade fear of surveillance, set against a stark, unadorned backdrop. Watch for its subtle performances and pervasive sense of unease.
