Cinema: The Hero of Friedrichstraße Station

What's it about?

DE | 2025 | Comedy | 112 min. | Director: Wolfgang Becker A heartwarming comedy about remembering, forgetting, and inventing. The film tells the story of Micha Hartung, a Berlin video store owner on the verge of bankruptcy, who unintentionally becomes a pan-German hero: When, on the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, a journalist stylizes him as the mastermind behind the largest mass escape from the GDR, his life is suddenly turned upside down. As an unwilling impostor, Micha gets entangled in a thicket of half-truths and outright lies. A delightful lesson about the hierarchy of historiography and a film about the power of storytelling. Award 2026 - Ernst Lubitsch Prize to the unforgettable director Wolfgang Becker Wed, 30.09.2026 SchulKulturSaal / St. Michael Admission: € 6.- / 7.- / 8.-
