Ostkreuz

G 1991, directed by Michael Klier, 86 mins, with English subtitles, rating: 12 

Elfi lives in a detention center for refugees in recently reunified Berlin. To raise some cash, she joins the young Darius in petty criminal activities. During one of her forays, she meets Edmund, a boy of her age who has been left behind in East Berlin by his parents. Together, they try to free themselves from their predicament and decide their own path. Michael Klier’s film takes viewers to a cold, colorless Berlin after the fall of the Wall, a wasteland full of ruins.
