“Sonntagsfahrer” (Sunday Drivers) humorously illustrates life in East Berlin through a group of people sharing a car ride on a Sunday. The car’s occupants form a microcosm of East German society, with the diverse group of passengers representing different aspects of life in the German Democratic Republic. Subtly exploring how the Berlin Wall’s presence affected everyday life, the film uses humor and everyday situations to reflect the socio-political realities of the time.
