Deutschland86 returns three years after the conclusion of Deutschland83 and picks up the story of East German Agent Martin Rauch and his compatriots in the Stasi Foreign Intelligence in 1986. Martin has been banished to rural Angola and is left to fend for himself until his Aunt Lenora recruits him to fight for the last gasp of Communism abroad. Although Martin is hesitant to re-enter the world of spy craft he was so harshly ejected from, he sees it as his only way of getting back to the GDR and meeting he son, Max.This second season is set against the backdrop of real events during the last “Summer of Anxiety,” when terrorism raged across Western Europe. Martin and Lenora’s adventure starts in South Africa, where they hide behind West German identities and try to raise money for their indebted homeland.We are introduced to an incredible cast of characters, from German diplomats living their luxurious lives on private tennis courts, pools, and servants in apartheid South Africa, to the underground shebeens of the country, filled with ruthless mercenaries who will take on any job for the right amount of money. A series of misunderstandings and betrayals take us from the racist luxury of South Africa to the dangerous back roads of Angola to the oasis of the Libyan desert to the idealistic beauty of a summer in Paris and then eventually, back to West and East Germany. Martin will face challenges unlike anything he could have ever imagined, which will lead him to question everything he has ever thought about his homeland, and if he really should do everything in his power to protect it.This season centers around the theme of desperation, and doing what you think is right by any means necessary. This string ties all of our stories and characters together, as we dive into a world on the brink of destruction while people doing everything in their power to keep it turning. |
