Friday Film Fest: In einem Land, das es nicht mehr gibt (2022)

This movie is based in large part on the autobiographical experience of the director and screen writer Aelrun Goette who lived in East Germany. Just like Aelrun, young Suzie is expelled from school just before graduation because she is caught wearing a swords-to-plowshares sticker and carrying the book 1984 by George Orwell, which is considered threatening to the state. Shortly afterwards, while working in a factory as a form of punishment, Suzie is photographed and consequently featured in a fashion magazine. This coincidence changes her life, and she transitions into the fashion world and the underground scene of the GDR shortly before the fall of the wall.
