Good guys facing tragic circumstances in an interesting period of history.
Because you view the main characters lives from the perspective of the morally confused Stasi Officer investigating them, you receive more information than the characters have about their hopeless situation. This makes it all the more tragic to see the suffering they endure.
Absolutely love this film. The only film so far to make my dad and I cry.
