The Sweetest Thing

’89 - So close, yet so forgotten

Europe was still split in two — the Berlin wall separated families, friends, relatives. The wall, built by people to divide people, was more than a physical barrier. East of it there was a regime restricting freedom of speech, access to education and information and career opportunities. It made simple things, such as the movie you are now going to watch, unthinkable. Those times are gone, but must not be forgotten.
