Starting in March 1989, the documentary chronicles a transformative year in the life of Alexander Schulz, an 18-year-old high school student and son of a pastor, whose non-conformist political views set him apart.
Alexander's journey unfolds against a nation on the brink of monumental change. As he immerses himself in the citizens' movement with optimism, the fall of 1989 brings a surge of hope.
However, the first free elections in the GDR on March 18, 1990, marked a turning point, revealing the harsh reality that his aspirations for political change might be unattainable. The sequel, 'In Transition: A Record of Hope,' continues to follow Alexander's life over the next year, capturing his experiences and the nation's path to German reunification.
