the German Democratic Republic.

Knowing that the slightest shock could prove fatal upon his mother's awakening, Alex strives

to keep the fall of the GDR a secret for as long as possible.

Keeping their apartment firmly rooted in the past, Alex's scheme works for a while, but it's not

long before his mother is feeling better and ready to get up and around again.
