While training for a sculling championship at a summer camp in Hungary in 1988. East German teenage twin sisters meet young guys vacationing from Hamburg. In the meeting of east and west the bond between sisters is tested when one falls in love and wants to defect to GDR. One year later, the Berlin Wall fell making this drama a non-issue. “Reflecting on German-German history, I feel we are only just at the beginning of a closer examination, of going beyond the great escape dramas and dramas about oppression. Its development depends on such personal stories.” (Robert Thalheim)
