[1] The film shows a day in the life of a family in the GDR.

It was screened in the Berlinale Special section at the 67th Berlin International Film Festival.

Cineuropa describes it: "Thematically, dramatically and visually, this is a sombre, intelligent piece in which psychological finesse combines with historical analysis to result in genuine dramatic heft.

Geschonneck contributes to this sombre theme challenging societal ideals, which expose the harshness of a new historical day.
