Synopsis

During the summer of 1989, large numbers of East Germans emigrated illegally via Hungary. Two weeks before the opening of the Berlin Wall, DEFA filmmakers met with three families in a Bavarian immigrant camp and interviewed them about their personal histories, their emotional state and ability to adapt to their new situation and the reasons why they decided to leave.

 

Some time later, the families contacted the filmmakers to update them on the next chapter of their lives.
