The Legend of Paul and Paula
The controversial comedy from behind the iron curtain.
Directed by Heiner Carow
Produced by DEFA-Studio für Spielfilme, Künstlerische Arbeitsgruppe ''Berlin''
A tender, passionate romance between two damaged souls who find unexpected happiness together, shadowed by the weight of their obligations and mortality.
Paul and Paula have had bad experiences with love: Paul is financially well off but has lost all affection for his wife, and Paula leads a troublesome life raising two children on her own. They meet and discover a strong passion for each other. Life seems like a dream when they're together - but their short flights from the burdens of reality are once and again interrupted by Paul's ties to family and career.
