The Distance Between You and Me and Her (1988)
Journalist Marga is commissioned by her editor-in-chief to interview a rock singer, Anne, from Prenzlauer Berg in Berlin. When Robert, an unpublished poet and Anne's ex-boyfriend, shows up, Marga becomes way more interested in her interview assignment. A love triangle comedy set in the bohemian East Berlin Prenzlauer Berg atmosphere combined with 1980s punk rock music à la Nina Hagen that comments on East German taboo topics, including environmental issues.
