Die Architekten / The Architects (1990) DVD9

Architect Daniel Brenner (Kurt Naumann) is still trying to pursue a career at age 37. He's designed almost nothing of consequence while building in East Germany has been confined to the same industrially-sanctioned dull plans used for decades. Daniel complains to one of his old professors and is given the opportunity to compete for an important new cultural and shopping center to enliven a drab Berlin suburb; he picks a crack team of equally frustrated talent, many of whom gave up architecture for other pursuits long ago.
The design process forms a new professional family for Brenner while his own wife Wanda (Rita Feldmeier) is stifled by the lack of excitement in her life; she soon announces plans to leave Daniel for an old beau in Switzerland, taking their young daughter Johanna.
