The film won a record seven Deutscher Filmpreis awards in the 11 categories in which it had been nominated, including best film, best director, best screenplay, best actor and best supporting actor. The film stars Ulrich Mühe as Stasi agent Gerd Wiesler, Ulrich Tukur as his chief officer Anton Grubitz, Sebastian Koch as the playwright Georg Dreymann, and Martina Gedeck as his lover Christa-Maria Sieland.
