Tina Fischer receives a package from West Berlin: her brother, Thomas Posimski, is sending food, candy and toiletries.

On the left there’s a box containing Fa bar soap, produced in Germany by Henkel.

Then there’s the after shave Hâttric Classic, first launched in 1963, characterised by fresh notes of lemon, lime and bergamot.
