Synopsis
Part 2 of Volker Koepp's March Brandenburg trilogy captures the conversations that took place in the small town of Zehdenick in the weeks leading up to the first free elections in spring 1990. This document of the times reflects the hopes and concerns of the business community, working class women and youth people during the Wende period. Returning to the milieu portrayed in March Brandenburg Bricks, the film illustrates the attitudes which emerged when power began to change hands in the GDR.
