Twenty-five years after the coIIapse of the German Democratic RepubIic (GDR), fiImmaker Petra EpperIein returns to the proIetarian Oz of her chiIdhood to find the truth about her late fathers suicide and his rumored Stasi past. Had he been an informant for the secret police? Was her childhood an eIaborate fiction? As she Iooks for answers in the Stasis extensive archives, she pulls back the curtain of her own nostaIgia and enters the paralIeI worId of the security state, seeing her former Iife through the lens of the oppressor. Reconstructing everyday GDR Iife through decIassified Stasi surveilIance footage, the past pIays like dystopian science fiction, providing a chiIling backdrop to interrogate the apparatus of control and the meaning of truth in a society where every action and thought was suspect. |
