In the movie, the Berlin wall falls and socialism collapses while the protagonist's older mother (who always "believed" in the system) was in a coma. When she awoke her son went to elaborate efforts to maintain the fiction that she still lived under the system in which she had invested her spirtual energy her whole life, so as not to alarm her in her frail condition. Sound familiar?

BTW, I've seen it. Great movie.
