Created by Anna and Jörg Winger, DEUTSCHLAND 83is a coming-of-age story within a suspenseful thriller, set against the real events, culture wars, and political realities of Germany during the 1980s. Featuring a soundtrack of '80s pop hits from artists such as Nena, Peter Schilling, Duran Duran and more, the series presents a vivid depiction of Germany at the height of the Cold War, depicting the cultural tensions between the East and West, and presenting a different perspective on similar historical events as seen in the current TV show The Americans. Set against this pivotal moment in modern political history, the series is told from the point of view of a 24-year-old East German soldier who goes undercover in West Germany and encounters a different way of life through his experiences.
