East Germany (Spanish: Alemania Oriental) is a 2023 Peruvian drama film written and directed by Alonso Izaguirre.[1] Starring Diana Daf Collazos as a mother who tries to protect and enjoy her family's vacations while wondering whether to migrate out of the country in the middle of the Peruvian Civil War or wait for the arrival of her husband who lives in East Germany.[2]
In the summer of 1987, Ana lives in an old house in Callao. She tries to spend an average vacation, but the difficult relationship with her children, whom she tries to protect from instability and violence in a country on the verge of economic and social debacle, overwhelms her to the point of exhaustion. Ana doubts whether to stay in Peru or start from scratch far from a crazy reality, although she is still waiting for the arrival of Carlos, exiled in East Germany to whom she is still married.[3]
