Mister Lehmann is 30 years old and lives in Berlin. He works in a tavern and like his life although nothing special happened in it. But then he felt in love and his life seems to change. But she don't know if she loves Lehmann or if she only be in love. His best friend, at least he think he is, get more and more depressive. "Kristall-Rainer" seems to be a cop and he realize more and more that he's felt in love. And all that happened in the time nearly the Fall of the Wall. This movie shows this historical time from a simple point of view of a simple human being and, that's important, in West Berlin. So slight and funny hints ("why do people in the east need a world clock?") and so deep senses of the characters. Awesome! Christian Ulmen seems to become a great actor, unless he is at present! Lehmanns lethargic moral conduct paired with funny dialogs makes a bizarre and hilarious spirit. The best German comedy in the last years beside "Lammbock", also if this movie can't be pigeonhole.
