Alex’s mother fell into a coma before the fall of the Berlin wall. And when, finally, she came to her senses, there was already neither the GDR nor the countries of the “victorious socialism”. A worried about his mother’s health, Alex decided not to inform her of the changes: after all, what could become more murderous for a convinced communist than the triumph of capitalism? The son had to go to deceive and turn his apartment into an island of the past, into the last baspion of a non -existent state. Diligently pretend that Lenin’s case still lives and wins.
