Synopsis
In the summer of 1989, the young mother Katja experienced the rule of the Stasi regime first-hand several times. One of her brothers was shot dead while trying to escape at the Wall and her partner Andreas only survived his escape to the West with serious injuries. In order to finally reunite the family with their son Sven, whose existence Andreas only learned about in the West, Katja also dares to flee across the Hungarian-Austrian border. Without success. She is arrested, while her son ends up alone in the West. For Katja, a desperate struggle for freedom and the existence of her family now begins. While she is subjected to the grueling interrogation methods of officer Bert Schäfer, the GDR is heading towards the "hot autumn of 1989". A time that will soon change everything...
