Bear Ye One Another's Burden (1988)

Two roommates in a private sanatorium in early-1950's East Germany are extremely different from one another. Josef (Jörg Pose) is a communist policeman, while Hubertus (Manfred Möck) is a Lutheran vicar. While Josef reads The Communist Manifesto, Hubertus prepares his sermon. Above their beds hang Stalin and Christ. The film offers both suspense and comedy, as the two begrudgingly develop tolerance and respect for one another.
