Apfelbaume is a love story about German reunification. In the south of Berlin, during the times of the German Democratic Republic, where thousands of apple trees line up as far as the eye can see, Lena and Heinz meet and fall passionately in love. Their love fills them with endless joy, but there is one problem: Sienke. He is the lord over the trees and the people who live from them and he has his eye on Lena. It does not take long for him to seduce Lena with repercussions of hurt and sorrow for all three involved. Only after the fall of the Berlin Wall, when thousands of apple trees are sacrificed for new building developments, can love regain its place between Heinz and Lena. This would be a different love, but it would still take place under the apple trees. A parable of the two Germanys and the effects of partition and re-unification on ordinary people, the film is one of the most political films of director Helma Sanders-Brahms, and it created significant controversy when it came out just after the demolition of the Berlin Wall.
