The Weissensee Saga: Season 3

The Weissensee Saga is a sweeping family saga of conflicting loyalties, betrayal, love and hope, set in 1980s East Berlin. Uwe Kockisch (Donna Leon's Brunetti) stars as Hans Kupfer, a Stasi officer whose youngest son, Martin, falls in love with the daughter of a dissident singer. Their love affair sets events into motion which affect both families over a turbulent decade.

Autumn, 1989. The Iron Curtan is falling, and the changing political climate takes its toll on the Kupfer family. Martin Kupfer tries to get his daughter back, with the aid of a West German reporter. His brother Falk belongs to a group of hardcore Stasi officers who are prepared to do anything to preserve Communist power. His father, Hans, opposes any movement that has the potential for getting out of control. Meanwhile, Dunja Hausmann and Vera Kupfer are fighting for democratic reforms amid the ranks of the Civil Rights movement. They're hiding skeletons in the closet, but they're not the only ones.
