Looking for a comedy about the fall of East Germany

Looking for a specific movie about the fall of East Germany-- a comedy (?) where the main character's mother falls into a coma, and during the interim, the Berlin wall falls...

I was in London last spring and I jumped into this movie halfway through (watching on a hotel telly)...and then fell asleep before the end. I ended up watching half of an hour of it, and I thought maybe somebody else has seen this movie.

Other clues: there may have been subtitles; it looked like it was filmed in the last decade (or two?).

Best answer: goodbye lenin

I would second that. The description does sound like Goodbye Lenin. My favourite scene is the coca cola banner scene.
