    Brief synopsis

    "Honecker und der Pastor" führt die Zuschauerinnen und Zuschauer in den kleinen Ort Lobetal bei Bernau. Hier lebt Uwe Holmer mit seiner Frau und seinen beiden jüngsten Kindern. Neben der Arbeit als Pastor und Bürgermeister leitet er eine Anstalt für obdachlose, alkoholkranke und behinderte Menschen. Auch er und seine Familie haben jahrelang unter dem DDR-Regime gelitten. Trotzdem ist er als einziger bereit, die Honeckers bei sich aufzunehmen. Der Film erzählt die insgesamt fast zehn Wochen, in denen das ehemalige Diktatorenehepaar beim streng gläubigen Kirchenmann und seiner Familie wohnt.
