A candid collective portrait of a nation’s psyche refracted through its female protagonists' hopes and disappointments, After Winter Comes Spring (Winter Adé) is Helke Misselwitz's prescient goodbye letter to a country on the verge of collapse and well-deservedly regarded as one of the masterpieces of GDR cinema.
 
“The most important reason why I made the film was that I believe women's fate is the best indication of the quality of life in a society. Marx said very little on the topic of women, but he was right when he said that the progress of a society can be measured by the position of the fair sex. (Although the expression "the fair sex" is old-fashioned and a reflection of Marx's time.) Winter adé takes stock of human relations. How much do we need other people—not as objects with a material worth but as beings with warmth and tenderness? How much are we concerned and interested in the person who lives next to us, in the family or in the same house? How much do we need and love another? And I don't just mean sexually.”
-- Helke Misselwitz
