Synopsis
All his life, Michael Hartung, owner of a hopelessly debt-ridden video store, has bet on the wrong horse. When an ambitious journalist confronts him with the results of his research, everything changes for the charmingly melancholy Micha. Many years ago, as an employee of the Reichsbahn, he is said to have organized the largest mass escape in the GDR. Stasi files prove the case. He was apparently even imprisoned and then deported to an open-cast lignite mine. Seduced by a lavish salary, Micha confirms the story, although only fragments of it are true.

Set against the backdrop of a dilapidated video store, the film evokes feelings of loneliness intertwined with fleeting moments of joy.

This poignant tale weaves themes of identity and redemption, inviting you to reflect on the past while navigating a labyrinth of memories. With its subtle pacing and rich emotional undercurrents, this film is perfect for cozy evenings when you crave introspection and a touch of magic in the mundane, reminiscent of the bittersweet essence found in classic 80s and 90s cinema.
