Movie description:
Heroes Like Us presents as heroes ordinary teenagers and young East German adults, who in Thomas Brussig’s (the novel and screenplay author) story, caused the Fall of the Berlin Wall. Our young hero falls in love, from an early age, with a girl whose family is not in good standing with the ruling Communist party. Our hero’s father, however, is a member of the Stasi, the secret state police. The father not only hinders his son’s relationship with the girl, but he arranges for his son, after finishing school, to become a Stasi spy himself. The absurdities of everyday life in the former German Democratic Republic are comically (sometimes tragically) are exposed throughout the film.
Klaus, a boy growing up in a socialist family in East-Germany, befriends Yvonne, a new girl in school. Unbeknownst to Klaus, his dad denounces Yvonne’s father to the Stasi, the feared secret state police of East-Germany. As Klaus grows up, he, like his dad, joins the Stasi and one day meets Yvonne again. Yvonne is a fighter for the freedom of East-Germany, and Klaus now has to make the difficult choice between his childhood love or serving the state.
Interesting movie, which manages to really convey the situation in East-Germany. The kids have only a small role in the movie.
