In Times of Fading Light (2017) shows a pretty somber portrait of the last days of the DDR, in the Autumn of 1989 in East Berlin. The occasion is the 90th birthday of Wihelm Powileit, a staunch communist, who fought for the regime all his life, at times in exile. It's hard to distinguish the traits of old age from the discontent of the ways in which the regime was run in the late 80s. Very clear is the notion that towards the end of a life (in times of fading light, coincidentally, also the season of Autumn) the reckoning of whether the dedication to a cause was worthwhile may not be an easy process.
