Synopsis
East Berlin, 1989: 30-year-old photojournalist Georg follows the beautiful and mysterious dancer Ms. Albena. Blinded by love, he dreams about her. His imagination and reality—a world in the midst of radical social changes—get mixed up.
This feature film was loosely based on an article called "Der Strass" (Rhinestones), which appeared in the Sonntag weekly paper in 1985.
