Mr. Lehmann

Berlin-Kreuzberg 1989: Frank Lehmann is about to turn 30 and in the middle of a life in which he has settled into something as simple as comfortable. At night, behind the bar in Kreuzberg's pubs, he fills those searching and drifting with the liquid content of life. When he is not sitting on the other side of the bar himself, he shares his view of the world in eloquent and everyday poetic remarks, from which he expects little more than a happy, uneventful life without surprises. He is doing well. But his world is West Berlin in the shadow of the Wall at the end of the 1980s - no time for quiet times. Frank Lehmann, who is only called "Mr. Lehmann" by his friends, not only falls in love unexpectedly. His parents also announce that they are coming to visit and his friend Karl slowly loses his mind while preparing for his first art exhibition. The fact that an unloved errand to the foreign East ends prematurely in an interrogation by the GDR border troops and the Wall finally falls is just the icing on the cake. Mr. Lehmann knows: "It's not important that it's like it used to be; it's important that it's good."
