Lieber Thomas

Wed, 27 Aug 2025 04:00:00 +0000

Thomas Brasch was born as a German-Jewish emigrant in England in order to move to the young GDR with his family at the beginning of the 1950s. His father Horst is primarily interested in helping to build the new German state. But Thomas prefers to realize himself as a writer and in doing so discovers his potential as a poetic rebel. His very first play was banned and soon afterwards he lost his place at the film school. When the tanks of the Soviet Union roll through the Czech capital Prague in 1968, Brasch and his girlfriend Sanda and other students try to call for protest in the streets of Berlin – and fail. His own father betrays him to the Stasi and allows Thomas to go to prison. After being paroled, he continues to try his hand at poet writing about love, revolt and death. In the GDR, however, you don’t want to have anything to do with someone like him.

In 1981, chalk slogans written in uppercase letters started appearing in public spaces in the Romanian city of Botoani. They demanded freedom, alluded to the democratic developments taking place in Romanias socialist sister countries or simply called for improvements in the food supply. Mugur Clinescu was behind them, who was still at school at the time and whose case is documented in the files of the Romanian secret police. Theatre director Gianina Crbunariu created a documentary play based on this material.

A moving coming of age story in a time of extreme change: on August 23, 1944 in a small city in Romanian Transylvania, the 16 year old Felix Goldschmidt awaits his classmates for their traditional Exitus Party (school graduation). However, this very day the kingdom of Romania takes leave of its ally of many years – Nazi Germany – thus ending the 800 year old, highly successful story of ethnic German immigration at the feet of the Carpathian Mountains. It is a great story of young people’s blindness to the rise of Fascism, the destruction of bourgeois values, a first love and shattered friendships.
