October 3, 1990. Berlin is celebrating reunification at the Brandenburg Gate. Far from the sententious political speeches about unity and freedom, East German Clara stabs her abusive husband, then flees to the West in their rickety Trabant car. But when she hooks up with her lover, Artur, at an abandoned factory complex, he is massacred by the family headed up by master butcher Alfred. While Clara manages in the end to escape the aggressive, incestuous tribe, an East German couple falls victim to their bloodthirsty frenzy. (Berlinale)
