MIFF - A Stasi Comedy
Mature themes, coarse language and nudity
In this hilarious story set in 1980's communist East Germany, Ludger is hired by the Stasi to infiltrate an East Berlin district known for its counterculture scene and home to artists, bohemians and free-thinking radicals. After falling in love with the mysterious Nathalie and sleeping with his first target (and later his wife), Corinna, Ludger ends up living two lives - one as an underground poet and one as a Stasi agent.
Decades later, Ludger is confronted with the possibility of his secret Stasi past coming to light. When he retrieves his file, his hope of quietly reading about who spied and informed on him in the GDR is sabotaged by Corinna. During a surprise family party, everyone browses through the impressively thick file, until Corinna finds a love letter to Ludger that she did not write!
Peppered with nostalgia, secrets and a good dose of self-irony, A STASI COMEDY contends that 30 years on, it's ok to finally poke fun at the Stasi.
