Marx und Coca Cola

German Lesson Plan

Marx and Coca Cola reveals the heartaches and triumphs of the reunification of Germany after the fall of the Berlin Wall. When he has car trouble in a thundering rainstorm, Hamburg real estate developer Martin Barwald tries to take refuge at the Mecklenburg farm of Anna Endrich, a former dyed-in-the-wool local communist youth leader. When he is trying to seek her help, she is stand-offish and sarcastic. Her attitude and display of belligerence and mistrust leave him flabbergasted. After all, doesn't everyone know that everything to do with the West is superior now that Germany is not divided anymore? For the next few months, they share a bumpy road as they both discover ideologies don't crumple as easily as walls. IMDB
