Im Übergang – Protokoll einer Hoffnung

The documentary follows Alexander, a nurse who is also involved in the “Action Reconciliation.” Set against the backdrop of the 1990 People’s Chamber elections, the film highlights Alexander's reflections on the shifting landscape of German society as the initial hope of unity gives way to discontent and resignation.

As political and economic changes unfold, the sense of community that emerged during the revolution of 1989 begins to fade. Alexander expresses his frustration with capitalism, feeling deceived and betrayed by the promises of a new era. His sentiment mirrors that of many who grappled with the rapid transformation of their lives and the complexities of reunification.

This documentary serves as a poignant snapshot of a pivotal moment in history, making it relevant for collectors interested in political cinema and the social issues of the time. With its roots in the DEFA-Studio für Dokumentarfilme, it offers a unique perspective on German history and the personal narratives within it.
