Director:
GDR, 1978, 92 min, color

Scenes from an East German marriage. A young couple, Sonya and Jens, are very much in love. They get married and have a child. When Sonya wants to go back to work after her maternity leave, they clash for the first time; Jens insists that she remain a full-time wife and mother.
Until Death Do Us Part turns an actual police report into a gripping drama, as director Heiner Carow (The Legend of Paul and Paula, Coming Out, The Mistake) explores the depths of his characters’ emotions, which drive the conflict to a catastrophic climax.
The debut film of actress Katrin Saß (Goodbye, Lenin!, 2003).
