STASIKOMÖDIE

East Berlin, early 1980s: Ludger is hired by the Stasi to spy on the local arts scene. When he falls in love with Nathalie he has to choose between being a celebrated underground poet or Stasi agent. Years later, he retrieves his file. But his hope of quietly reading about who spied and informed on him in the GDR is sabotaged by his wife, Corinna, who has organized a surprise family party for the occasion. So, together, everyone browses through the impressively thick file, wondering which acquaintance might have taken which photo – until Corinna finds a love letter to Ludger. She didn’t write it, and she and Ludger were already married at the time: a veritable marital row quickly erupts. Ludger flees – where to? His old friends… from the Stasi!
