When a film crew comes to an isolated East German village to film a WWII TV series, everyone in the village is thinking what they can get from it.

The film, which is the director's feature debut, concentrates entirely on the local population, and we only see little bits of the filming work in the background of the story.

You won't be surprised to find that the film crew have brought a tank with them, which they leave in the mayor's garden.

It's filled with gentle humour and jokes that run through the film. Did you ever hear of a pancake burger? Well, this is where to find out.

I won't say any more, come back and write another review if you get the chance to watch this.

The film follows Mariana's life for a few days and we see her family struggles, work struggles and relationship struggles. But overall it's hopeful and not miserable. Also, she dreams of going to Malta, although the closest she gets in the film is meeting a man who comes from there.

Overall it's an engaging piece of work.

You can ignore the rest of the words. I still have to fill another 207 characters to make up the minimum requirement on IMDB which is rather tiresome for you and me. But there we have it. Yet I see other reviews that are only a few words, please would someone from IMDB tell me how to do that.

The idea for the story, a woman who's life becomes the subject of a primetime TV series, even though she doesn't know it until she sees it. Obviously she becomes obsessed with finding out how this has happened, particularly when some events occur in the series that seem to predict her future.

That's enough said about the plot, because if you find a copy of this movie it's well worth a watch. It takes a little while to bring all the threads of the story together, but it's worth working your brain a little on that.

I'm always surprised that so many people give a film a score on IMDB without writing any words. Have they even seen it?
