## Description

East Germany, 1980. Barbara Wolff is a young doctor who has applied for an exit visa from the GDR and, as punishment, has been transferred from her prestigious post in Berlin to a small pediatric hospital in the country. She must weigh her absolute dedication to her patients against a potential escape to the West, and her newfound attraction to a doctor in whom she sees a kindred spirit.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You can't always get what you want, but if you try real hard...
*by J***E on April 11, 2025*

If you want to get past the stereotypes of East Germany, this, just like The Lives of Others, is a very good start. There were deep communities in the East in spite of Stasi iinfiltration. There are lessons about life, love and community to be found in this wonderful film. Nina Holm is stellar!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Petzold is an amazing filmmaker, and this movie is one of his best.
*by A***H on December 28, 2024*

It's hard to put into words how good Barbara is. Just watch it; it'll have you from the very first shot. Then try Jerichow, then Phoenix.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Home Is Where The Heart Is
*by J***O on December 31, 2013*

For Barbara, that's the West. She longs to escape oppressive East Germany, where she is a known malcontent and the object of Stasi surveillance and oppression. A doctor from East Berlin, her punishment inlcudes banishment to the sticks, far away from even East German sophistication. She has a lover from the West who makes secret visits and helps plan her escape. Meanwhile, she becomes involved in the treatment, and lives, of her adolescent patients and slowly becomes drawn to her boss, a fellow doctor tasked with making reports on Barbara to the Stasi. His motives are ambiguous to start with -- he seems sensitive and intelligent, but we, as Barbara, don't know initially to what extent it's an act, or to what extent he supports the regime that Barbara so despises. I can't give away the end, but suffice it to say that it carries a major turn, and that turn makes perfect sense of all that has come before.The story unfolds at a gradual pace. Some may think it's too slow. To me, it felt natural, and it carried plenty of suspense. Its naturalism is unforced, unaffected, unlike films that convey realism with a nausea-inducing hand-held camera or tediously long shots of nothing much. Here, you disappear into the world of the movie without noticing how the trick is done.Nina Hoss's performance, like those of others in the film, is beautifully subtle -- so subtle that you become attuned to even the slightest adjustments in her outward attitude. The last shot -- of silent facial expressions -- effortlessly, perfectly conveys volumes, so masterful has been the acting and story-telling.What a beautiful film, among the best of this past year.
