"Martin is deployed by the Stasi as an aide to a West German general named Edel (Ulrich Noethen), the disobedient son of a Nazi officer. Edel is the real hero of Deutschland 83, a man trying to unite his country in a good faith democracy and turn back the communists. Every single person around him, from his wacky wife, to his commune-residing daughter, to his turncoat son Alexander (Ludwig Trepte), seems focused on impeding that goal."

According to reviewer Alex Carnevale, General Edel is the true hero of D83, and his family are mostly in the way of said heroism. Do you agree?

Ursula and Ingrid. Two mothers. One in the East, one in the West. The first lives in what we traditionally think of as the free world, but has less freedom than we may initially think. The other one lives under strict regulations, but ekes out more freedom than we initially believe.
