GUNDERMANN

After his outing into family entertainment with TIMM THALER, director Andreas Dresen has now returned to Germany’s recent past with his portrait of the contradictory life of the digger driver Gerhard Gundermann who made a name for himself as a singer-songwriter in former East Germany, tragically dying at only 43 in 1998. As the hero/anti-hero Gundermann, Alexander Scheer – whose previous credits include SUN ALLEY and THE YOUNG KARL MARX – wants to be a good worker, great husband, caring father, artist, clown, and politician – in fact, he is everything at the same time. And the type of person who can’t help rubbing others the wrong way – not something that’s only restricted to his home of East Germany...
