In GUNDERMANN, director Andreas Dresen looks at the life of Gerhard “Gundi” Gundermann – one of the most formative music artists of East Germany – with sensibility, affection, and humor. Gundermann died in 1998, at the age of 43.
GUNDERMANN tells the story of a digger driver who writes songs. He is a poet, a clown, an idealist. He dreams and hopes, loves and struggles. He’s a spy who gets spied on, a do-gooder who doesn’t know better. He is torn.
GUNDERMANN is both a music film and a love story; a drama about guilt and entanglement, about suppression and confrontation.
GUNDERMANN is a film about the homeland. It takes anew look back at the GDR, a country that has disappeared. It’s not too late – in fact, it’s about time.
