hi. this is about nadja klier. lead actress in this fim.
her birth year is listed every where 1973 and some sites give the day and month too. jan 31th 1973.
i found a video. in it nadja shows an east german id card this card lists her birth day in jan 30th 1971.
the video is in german. dont know what she says in it and why she shows that id card. but it is east germany and maybe she says the information on the card was not accurate? maybe in order for her to be able to act? can some one from germany watch the video and confirm if the id card is accurate or not?

The information on the ID card doesn't appear to be accurate. Many sites give her birthday as Jan 1st. When you see that, it usually means they know only the year and not the date so their software fills in Jan 01. Unless of course it's
Angourie Rice, who was actually born on New Year's Day - as far as I know she's the only example on this site.
Jan. 30th may be correct for Nadja's DOB but the year was 1973 because this movie was filmed just before her 12th birthday. Within days of her 15th her mother was arrested by the Stasi (East German secret police) as a pro-democracy dissident and expelled from the country. This was early 1988 according to Nadja, again pointing to '73 as her year of birth. I was a bit surprised they expelled a troublemaker to the west instead of putting her in some kind of re-education camp, or a gulag, or simply disappearing her. But they kicked her out into West Germany instead, banned her for life from ever returning, and her daughter went with her. About two years later the Berlin Wall came down and her "lifetime" ban expired along with the GDR.
