Fatherland

Sam’s decision to join the East German police creates increasing tensions with his family. At the barracks, Sam’s friend Raiko promises him protection if things start taking a turn to the right, while his bunkmate Henry is looking for a way to free himself from his overbearing family. Sam’s conflict between family and police comes to a head on the night of the fall of the wall, when his unit is unleashed to keep East Germans from leaving their territory while Antje is heading out to a major protest against the regime. Sam’s new job as a police officer is a chance to unravel the mystery of his father - a visiting student from Cameroon who died under mysterious circumstances. When the wall finally crumbles, everyone is left staring into the abyss.
