Mit dem Wind in den Westen

Overview

Frank lives in East Germany with his parents and younger brother. Frank’s father dreams of living in freedom in the West. Frank is torn between his budding interest in his neighbor Klara and his dad’s terrifying, but genius, plan to slip away from the oppression of the East. The family works together, in secret, to build something so enormous that they can only escape in the dead of night. With the rare gift of a wind from the North, they are on their way… but will their untested creation carry them into the hands of friend or foe?
