Look here. Here into the camera.
Hands off!
Alex, hold on!
- Dad, help me!
Slowly, cautiously,
almost gently...
the giant colossus...
Here on the launch site
the result of the great...
community work is demonstrated.
If you want an example to emphasize the famous word:
everyone supplies quality to everyone...
- There he is!
everyone supplies quality to everyone...
- There he is!
... here it can be seen in perfection.
I report:
I am ready for the flightas a member of the international
crew.
On August 26, 1978,
we had reached international standing.
Sigmund Jhn, citizen of the GDR,
was the first German who ever went into space.
However, on this day our
family went really up in smoke.
This is your husband's third stay
in a capitalistic country.

He stands in for his boss, professor Klinger.
Do you know of any contacts in the West
your husband might have?. - No.
Mrs Kerner, how would you
describe the state of your marriage?
Has your husband ever talked to you
about escape from the Republic?
Mrs Kerner...
Has he talked to you about that?
Allow me to present the Central Committee
of the communist party...
Get lost! Leave me alone!
While Sigmund Jhn bravely represented the GDR
in the depths of space,
my procreator let a class enemy
in a capitalistic country...
screw his brains out.
He never came back.

He never came back.
that she stopped talking.
She just didn't talk anymore.
Not to us, not to others.
Mum, please come back.
It's so boring at Mrs. Schfer's.
Mum, I love you.
The Sandman excellently adapted to the
conditions in space.
But the biggest surprise was that he
became very well acquainted...
...with Mascha.
We even had a cosmic
marriage on board.

In a few minutes, the sandman
and Mascha will come back to Earth.
I hope it was relayed,
so that you could see it clearly.
Mother came back after 8 weeks.
It was as if she had been transformed.
Surprise!
- My sweeties!
My Alex. My little cosmonaut.

From this moment on, my mother got married
to our socialist Fatherland.
Our home...
is not only
the towns and villages...
As this relation was not a sexual one,
there was a lot of vigour and energy left...
for us kids
and the socialist daily routine.
... is the grass on the sward,
the corn on the field and the birds...
in the air and the animals on the ground...
in the air and the animals on the ground...
the progress of society.

simple needs of the people

Gaudily colourful...maternity dresses. Full-stop.
And now a report on the solemn honouring...
- This is it!
Blue- and and white-collar workers,
scientists and joint farmers,
Blue- and and white-collar workers,

That's you, Mum!
... and recognition of outstanding
merits during the building up...
and development
of the socialist social order.
On the eve of the
national holiday...
the CC of the SUG
traditionally rewards men and women of merit.
After a long, untiring training
it was time. I, Alex Kerner,
was the second German to go to space.
Deeper and further than any man before.
Rocket launched!
I imaged how I would explore the riddles of the cosmos
for the good of humanity,
how I would look down to our planet
and how I would proudly wave to my mother.

Test, one, two...
The GDR had its 40th anniversary.
I had a day off with the
PGH TV workshop "Adolf Hennecke"...
and felt as if I was on the climax of
my male personal magnetism.

Left, two, three!
Time smelt of change,
while an oversized rifle association...
had its last performance
in front of our house.
Alex!
What?
Alex, there's a lass out there.
Should I send her away?
Alex, there's a lass out there.
Should I send her away?
Who is she?
- No idea.
But she makes a good impression.
Have you slept in your clothes again?
Where's the visitor?
The visitor's name is Paula...
and it's a date, as agreed. Here you are.
Oh no!
- Oh yes, little brother.
Can't your ex-boyfriend take care of her?
- He's on standby duty today.
We stopped at:
...but a womanof a certain age...
We stopped at:
...but a womanof a certain age...
... can't and won't wear the panties,
that are offered.
Fullstop. Even in the GDR, there
are not only young princesses on ice and...
exquisitly slim comrades. Full-stop.
- That's good.
You're not downstairs? It's already started.
- Impossible to overhear!
You're not downstairs? It's already started.
- Impossible to overhear!
Well hurry up then. It could be the last time
with these members.
Where's Paula?
- Yeah, where is she? Sleeping again?
Maybe I'll see your
mother on TV. - In the palace?
Maybe I'll see your
mother on TV. - In the palace?
You'll have to look for her with a magnifying glass.
I don't really know if I'll go there.
All of the party's bigwigs are there.
I don't know anyone. Although... I'd like
to see Gorbatschow at close range this once.
There they are celebrating themselves,
all the old bastards.
Well you don't have to watch.
- Mum, don't you notice what's happening there?
And you, what do you want? Do a bunk?
Nothing will change if
they all go away. Let's go on.
It cannot be possible,
that the stouter...
...workers and farmer's wifes...
are punished by the fashion combinates...
...after the 40th year of the existence
of our Republic!
With socalist salutations...
Hanna Schfer.
In the evening of October 7, 1989
several hundred people united...
for an evening walk,
to promote...
the idea of walking without borders.
Freedom of the press! Freedom of the press!
Cough! Cough hard!
Everything alright?
You alright?
- Thank you!
There're even more Greens.
Alright already!
Form a chain!
No violence! No violence!
You might make it
if you take the subway.
