Dostępność: na zamówienie Some of the most telling moments of this film, a somber, finely-drawn portrait of life in East Berlin in the final days of the Communist regime, are long panning shots of the city's ugly, factory-like public housing. Shot from moving cars, these views of block after block of anonymous rectangular buildings evoke a joyless environment in which the imagination is systematically stifled and where people live in a state of chronic, low-grade depression. The film depicts this society's grinding down of Daniel Brenner (Kurt Naumann), an idealistic architect in his late thirties.

Collectively referred to as Sullivan's Jewel Boxes, these banks are located in ordinary small towns across America's heartland. All appear solid, like cathedrals of capitalism, yet they are also discreetly ornate, which makes them stand out among their flat, Midwestern surroundings.
