Winter Adé - German Movie Night
Tue Dec 16, 7:00 PM
Goethe - Zentrum Hyderabad & Lamakaan
Goethe-Zentrum Hyderabad, in association with Lamakaan, invites you to the German Movie Night of December 2025.
Film: Winter Adé
Director: Helke Misselwitz
Year: 1988
Language: German (with English subtitles)
Runtime:116 minutes
Colour: Black & White
Based on director Helke Misselwitz’s quietly radical vision, this 1988 documentary unfolds as a train journey across East Germany in the final year of the GDR, an odyssey stitched together by the voices of women. From factory workers to economists, teenagers to grandmothers, each woman Misselwitz meets along the tracks opens a window into her world: her joys, her frustrations, her weary resilience, and her stubborn hopes. Their candid stories gently but firmly unravel the myth of state-sponsored gender equality, revealing instead a landscape of contradictions, tender, raw, and unmistakably human.
A landmark of East German cinema, Winter Adé stands today as both a portrait of a country on the cusp of collapse and a tribute to the women whose strength carried it, questioned it, and outlasted it.
All are Welcome!
