About event
Hero against his will: Charly Hübner in THE HERO FROM THE BAHNHOF FRIEDRICHSTRASSE. The last film by Wolfgang Becker. The director of tragicomedies such as "Life is a Construction Site" (1997) and "Good Bye, Lenin!" (2003) died on December 12th last year shortly after filming ended.
With Christiane Paul, Leon Ullrich, Leonie Benesch, Thorsten Merten, Dirk Martens, Peter Kurth, Daniel Brühl, Jürgen Vogel, Eva Löbau, Jörn Hentschel, Lilli Fichtner, Claudia Eisinger, Bernhard Schütz, Katarina Witt, Annabelle Mandeng, Adisat Semenitzsch and Holger Handtke
THE HERO FROM THE TRAIN STATION FRIEDRICHSTRASSE tells the story of a Berlin video store owner, Micha Hartung (Charly Hübner), who is on the verge of bankruptcy and who inadvertently becomes a pan-German hero: When, on the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, a journalist portrays him as the mastermind of the GDR's largest mass exodus, his life suddenly turns upside down. As an unwilling imposter, Micha gets entangled in a maze of half-truths and outright lies.
And when the fragile house of cards of history threatens to collapse around him and his life sinks into chaos, he meets Paula (Christiane Paul). Micha would never have thought it possible that a successful, smart and funny woman like her could be interested in a man like him. But the emerging love story is overshadowed by the lie.
A heartwarming comedy about history as myth, the pitfalls of the German culture of remembrance and life as a game of remembering, forgetting and inventing. An enjoyable lesson on the hierarchy of historiography and a film about the power of storytelling.
