Synopsis
Revolves around three former close friends, Suses, Matthias and Susanne, who lived in East Berlin in the 1980s. Two of them tried to escape to the West via Czechoslovakia in 1987 but were arrested by border guards and returned to Berlin's notorious Hohenschonhausen prison, where they were subjected to persistent interrogation and psychological torture by the Stasi secret police. The third friend also was subjected to intense Stasi scrutiny merely for being aware of their planned escape. None of the three had spoken to one another since the arrests.
