DEFA: Upheavals

In the 1980s, the opening of the film market in the GDR to Western productions led to a crisis at DEFA. The end finally came with the fall of the Berlin Wall and the GDR's accession to the territory covered by the Basic Law of the FRG.During these years of upheaval, several feature films and documentaries were made that more or less visibly bear the signs of change.
