GDR, 1989: Hanna and Andreas risk a perilous Baltic Sea escape, bound by a rope and love, chasing freedom from a repressive regime.
About this Event

GDR, August 1989: Hanna and Andreas became a target of the secret police and had to give up their plans for their future studies and desired professions. Instead, they face arbitrariness, mistrust and reprisals. Their only chance for a self-determined life lies in fleeing across the Baltic Sea. Fifty kilometers of water separate them from freedom – and only a thin connecting rope around their wrists saves them from absolute loneliness.
