The Hero of Friedrichstrasse Station
Directed by Wolfgang Becker
Charly Hübner, Christiane Paul, Leon Ullrich, Daniel Brühl, Leonie Benesch
All his life, Michael Hartung, owner of a hopelessly debt-ridden video store, has bet on the wrong horse. When an ambitious journalist confronts him with the results of his research, everything changes for the charmingly melancholy Micha. Many years ago, as an employee of the Reichsbahn, he is said to have organized the largest mass escape in the GDR. Stasi files prove the case. He was apparently even imprisoned and then deported to an open-cast lignite mine. Seduced by a lavish salary, Micha confirms the story, although only fragments of it are true.
The Hero of Friedrichstrasse Station is showing at 18 cinemas near Paris this week.
