“Die Wende” means “the turn” and refers to the movement performed under water, in which the athlete completes a full turn of the body.
The word in German also, however, refers to the process of change or “turn” that came about after the fall of the Berlin Wall, leading to democracy and a capitalist economic system. The protagonists of the film are, in fact, elderly ladies from the eastern part of Berlin.
