Der Stoff zum Leben
Der Stoff zum Leben
1989, German. Directed by Thomas Kuschel.
Mario, a 26-year-old foreman at the Premnitz synthetic fiber plant, serves as a role model at his workplace but at the same time speaks out very critically about problems with the supply situation and housing conditions, as well as the “whitewashing” by party comrades. Produced in the spring of 1989, the film offers a glimpse of the growing discontent that would eventually lead to the upheavals of the reunification era.
