Global Languages Movie Night: Goodbye Lenin

In Good Bye, Lenin! (2003), director Wolfgang Becker presents a poignant and humorous tale of a devoted son who, to shield his mother from a potentially fatal shock after she awakens from a coma, recreates the illusion that East Germany still exists. Set against the backdrop of the Berlin Wall’s fall, this critically acclaimed film explores themes of love, deception, and the complexities of political change.
