Barbara works as a doctor in a small East German town, all the while dreaming of her imminent escape to the West. Her dedication to her patients and an unexpected attachment to colleague André however create a serious dilemma. Turning her deafening silences into a megawatt performance, Petzold regular Nina Hoss stars in a film that mirrors the escalating tensions of cold war Germany. A slow burner with amazing payoff, "Barbara" won the Silver Berlin Bear for best direction at the 2012 Berlinale. K.Th.
