If Yella is a terrifying creature immersed in cold water, Barbara is a warm light in the cold sea breeze. The film is restrained from beginning to end, whether it's the humiliation and pain of Barbara being searched, or the girl's last escape, even when the climax is submerged under the waves. Barbara's last choice actually cost her her whole life. At that time, the Berlin Wall still existed, and the day when it fell was still in the future. It took a lot of determination to give a chance to a girl. The movie ends abruptly in the ward warmed by the sun, but Barbara's life will continue, and she may face more pain and trouble. I didn't treat this film as a romantic film, nor was it a literary film, it just told a woman's choice.

Film version. I have always been unable to resist such a precise and mysterious soulful work, the slow infiltration of the Cold War background adds a bit of danger, and the final day for night scene is wonderful.

It’s best not to be spoiled before watching this movie, otherwise the fun will be greatly reduced. Its narrative is deeply hidden, relying on various details that are not easily explained, keeping the audience in the dark, and finally the truth is revealed. Although looking back at all the stories are actually quite plain, but the romance is enough to make up for the shortcomings. I like this kind of grim story, and even more charming is the kindness and compassion in the bones of the movie, which is the most lacking of the director of the celestial dynasty! ★★★★
