At the heart of YESTERDAY GIRL is the performance of Alexandra Kluge, the director's sister, who stars as a young East German woman named Anita G. Carrying all of her belongings in a flimsy suitcase, Anita passes through the Berlin Wall looking for a better life in the promised land of West Germany. But, that dream eludes her because she cannot let go of the childhood and past experiences that have determined her unfortunate path.
No other director gets at the heart of his country's history and culture like Kluge.
