We saw this movie at school and I thought: "What? A German science fiction movie? Yuck!" But if you think of the low possibilities of German movies (and of the lower possibilities in 1992) the result is not bad. The story is about Karl, born in 1999 ("Geboren 1999"), who was adopted by Anna and Rasmus. In the age of 16, in 2015, he tries to find his real parents and discovers that he comes from a very mysterious background - his real mother has never born him, and she did not know his real father at all. In the end he discovers that he was the first child ever to be bred in an artificial uterus. All in all, the movie raises a lot of questions about topics like surrogate mothers and artificial insemination, but it is the viewer's turn to answer them. This is not automatically a bad thing, as there are many different opinions, and so I give eight points. But I think that Julia Brendler (who plays Karl's girlfriend, Sarah) is not the best of all actresses.
