The Weissensee Saga: Season 2

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.

Six years have passed since Julia was arrested for treason. Martin hasn't seen her since, and will never forgive his brother Falk for having betrayed them. He's holding onto hope for reuniting with Julia and finding out the fate of their unborn child. Julia s mother, Dunja Hausmann, is betraying her deepest convictions and working with the Stasi to alleviate her daughter's harsh prison conditions. Martin s father, Hans, works behind the scenes to campaign for radical reform of the Stasi and the Party from within. And Falk's wife, Vera, meets the unconventional pastor Robert Wolff and gets involved in the environmental and civil rights movements.
