LOGLINE
Separated by the Iron Curtain, the two students Hedi and Karl try to find a way for their mutual love in Germany in the 1970s. But because of Karl’s involvement with the Stasi, Karl can neither move to the DDR nor can Hedi stay there. During their escape disguised as a vacation in Romania, pretty much everything that can go wrong goes wrong.
