I heard about an interesting film called Goodbye, Lenin on NPR yesterday. It's the story of a man and his mother, who live in East Berlin. She has an accident, and during the 8 months that she is in a coma, the Berlin Wall falls and life for them is completely changed. The son, to keep her from having another shock, tries to re-create the old East Berlin life inside their apartment. I really would like to see this film... shades of Rip Van Winkle, set in modern times.
