Movie Haiku:Twisted tale set after the fall of the Communist Regime in East Germany led to the opening of Stazi Police files. Turns out a Norwegian architect (Köhler) is actually a plant, a revelation that obviously upends her heretofore happy family. Plot is filmed as melodrama, but ominous cinematography by Judith Kaufmann (credited as co-writer & also "co-director") is terrific. Not yet seen by Rich.
