Eastern Cross

Eastern Cross (1991) is a drama, tv movie film directed by Michael Klier rated 6.7/10.

15-year-old Elfie literally and metaphorically inhabits a no-man’s-land between the two Germanies shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall. The film deploys a neorealist aesthetic to reinforce the difficulties confronting the girl, and by inference, Germany.
