Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Best for anyone interested in what war does to people and anyone in the mood for a love story. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost. If you loved Doctor Zhivago or We Live in Time, start here.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 48 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1955: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

Anna is a factory worker in East Germany, but her five-year-old son Jochen lives with his grandparents in the West. Anna wants him to live with her, so she abducts him. Along the way she meets Carl, who helps her cross the border, and they fall in love.
