Jeder Schweigt von Etwas Anderem (2006)

Jeder Schweigt von Etwas Anderem plot

Documentary about three families struggling with their GDR past. Every family has a secret: a dark place that no one wants to enter. For the main characters of this documentary, that place lies in a country that no longer exists: the GDR. The film follows three families of which one or both parents belonged to the estimated 250,000 political prisoners of the GDR. Now, more than twenty years later, the main characters wrestle with the question of how much of that very traumatic and painful past they can or will still allow into their current lives. Their stories are incredibly poignant. Anne Gollin was given two hours by the Stasi to find shelter for her baby before she was locked up for years. Utz Rachowski still has nightmares from the years in captivity. His traitors from then walk around freely and confront him almost daily with the past. The two young adult daughters see their father's suffering, but are afraid to bring it up. For the children of pastor Matthias Storck and his wife Tine, the parental past is an abstraction. Born and raised in the West, they understand little of their parents' excitement at seeing news about the former GDR or their search in Stasi archives. Three generations shaped by separation, oppression and captivity, wounds so deep that no one wanted to rip them open for decades. The time seems right to break the silence.
