2021-11-18 08:01
After her husband fled to West Germany, Christina, a member of the enthusiastic East German Unity Socialist Party, devoted all her energy to her party and her pair of children, and raised them in strict accordance with the requirements of socialism. In the fall of 1989, Christina suddenly had a heart attack and passed out. During the time she was unconscious, Germany was turned upside down: the Berlin Wall fell, and her beloved Democratic Germany was also disintegrated.
After Christina woke up, the doctor told her son Alex that any irritation would be fatal. In order not to attack the sick mother, Alex had to carefully conceal the news of the reunification of the Socialist Unity Party and the reunification of Germany, pretending that the Berlin Wall is still standing. So in their small apartment, Alex tried his best to perform a prosperous farce of the GDR, from food to clothing, and even fake TV news. Although the outside world has changed a lot, this is just a small one. History in the world seems to have stagnated, or that the son is rewriting and creating history through his love for his mother.
