Friday evening: A busy week is over for a dentist in her mid-30s. Feeling an intense desire to break the cycle of her monotonous everyday life, she takes detours to experience an evening in the streets of East Berlin. She is affected by what she discovers in other people’s lives so far removed from her own. Finally, she goes home and enjoys the happiness of being expected by her husband and son. The next morning, she savors a lazy Saturday with her husband. Based on two short stories by award-winning author Helga Schubert.Unexpectedly, the beautifully shot film in stark black-and-white was rejected by officials because it only showed the old parts of the East German capital repleted with gray, crumbling facades and was only approved for very limited release.
