The Brasch Family

Synopsis

A perfect GDR functionary-family who, post 1945, lived the German dream of constructing socialism in the Soviet occupied zone: the passionate anti-fascist Horst Brasch, his wife, and their four children. Then, in 1968, eldest son Thomas was imprisoned for subversive agitation, thereby putting an end to his father's career. Thomas Brasch, the talented young poet and filmmaker, pursued a successful career in the West and two of his films competed at Cannes. The "Enfant terrible" died in 2001, and, like Fassbinder, he and his films have been almost forgotten in Germany.
