COMRADE COUTURE [EIN TRAUM IN ERDBEERFOLIE]
by Marco Wilms Germany 2009 Digital Betacam 82 min. OV Engl. ST
EIN TRAUM IN ERDBEERFOLIE [COMRADE COUTURE] is a journey into the wild nether world of the fashionistas and Bohemians of East Berlin back in the 1980s. It was a fantasy world within East Germany’s very restricted and conformist everyday life. Here you could break ranks, be individual and provocative. The most important identifying feature of the fashion and art scene was the development of a personal style, because you couldn’t buy such a thing in GDR times. In this nether world, you had to create your individual image.
In this film, director Marco Wilms tells of the longing, passions and dreams which were tested, experienced and lived out in the shadow of the Berlin Wall.
