timely for its time
It's 1962 and the Berlin Wall has recently gone up. Kurt Schröder is the driver to East German Major Eckhardt and his wife Heidi. He witnesses his friend Günther Jurgens' failed crossing. Erika Jurgens starts looking for her missing brother Günther. She is also desperate to escape. After a misunderstanding with Kurt, she assumes that her brother escaped to the West when in reality, he died in the attempt.
This is a ripped-from-the-headlines story. It's an interesting premise. I don't know any of these actors. This movie might actually have some German content. The tunnel digging is not the most compelling except for the phone line issue. In the end, it's not the most intense movie, but it has a few interesting ideas.
