BARBARA, a film by , PG-13, 105 min, in German w/English subtitles
"It's one terrific film, as smart, thoughtful and emotionally involving as just about anything that's out there." -Los Angeles Times
" A well-observed, compelling, and evocative character piece, haunted by the ghosts of Germany's recent past." -Quickflix
In 1980s East Germany, Barbara is a Berlin doctor banished to a country medical clinic for applying for an exit visa. Deeply unhappy with her reassignment and fearful of her co-workers as possible Stasi informants, Barbara stays aloof, especially from the good natured clinic head, Andre. Instead, Barbara snatches moments with her lover as she secretly prepares to defect one day. Despite her plans, Barbara learns more about her life that puts her desires and the people around her in a new light. With her changing perspective, Barbara finds herself facing a painful moral dilemma that forces her to choose what she values.
