The plot is not the thing that drives the story.
They are driving the story, which is what all writers are...
striving for is that the characters are the ones who are driving everything and you are just sat behind them going don't do that why have you said that oh my god and yeah i thought the parents petra's parents are brilliantly drawn yeah um lolita has a small community of um indian friends who are living there as well who are sort of you know high up or connected to the communist government and so i'm sort of protecting her also she's sort of blissfully unaware of it so yeah
Yeah.
And, yeah, Theo lives with his grandfather, Rainer, who is this sort of communist hero.
And such a lovable granddad figure.
Lovable granddad.
That reminded me very much of Slow Horses.
Yeah.
It reminded me of the relationship that Jack Loudon has with... His granddad.
His granddad, yeah.
What I love is politics, humanised politics, in that the creation of the DDR is such an experiment, it's such a dream, it's such a hope.
But the consequences of making those choices, the consequences of living like that, of living in a communist regime, and how much it affected people.
Again, it's not a spoiler, but it's a brilliant scene where
Theo has driven to Hungary to take his grandfather to meet some old friends.
And they start talking that the fence has been de-electrified between Hungary and Austria, which I didn't know.
I didn't know there was an electrified fence.
And the way that you're just like, oh God, this regime is so afraid of being destroyed.
It's had to electrify its fences to keep those people in.
And now it's starting to crumble.
