Critical Reception & Ratings

While details about the critical reception and awards for this 1992 German comedy film directed by Heiko Schier are limited, the film's premise about two former East German comedians struggling to adapt to life after the fall of the Berlin Wall suggests it may have provided a humorous take on the societal changes occurring at that time.
