STORY
Ewa and Stefan Hauser, with their children Monika and Wolf, live an average middle-class life in East Berlin in 1969. Under Stasi blackmail, Stefan is coerced into cooperation, prompting the family’s escape attempt to West Berlin. The plan fails: the couple is imprisoned for four years, the children adopted by separate families. After early release and permission to relocate west, the Hausers spend decades fruitlessly searching for their lost children, only to be reunited twenty years later amid Europe’s political upheavals.
