Boxhagener Platz
1968 in East Berlin: Student upheavals and sexual revolution in the West, tanks in Prague. And on East Berlin's Boxhagener Platz Granny Otti and her 12-year old grandson Holger experience their very own adventures. Otti has outlived five husbands, and the sixth is already at the doorstep. But a mean suspicion is cast on the former Spartacus fighter, when die-hard nazi Fisch-Winkler is killed ... Based on the same-titled novel by Torsten Schulz.
Matti Geschonneck
1952 born in Potsdam, GDR. He grew up in Berlin, next to Boxhagener Platz. When he didn't distance himself from dissident Biermann he had to end his studies of directing in Moscow. Since 1978 he has lived in West Germany.
