1979, East Germany. Two families yearning for freedom devise a great escape plan to cross to the West: they fashion a hot air balloon from scraps of cloth to fly over the East German border. But an initial failure threatens their entire plan, and with the state police now hot on their trail, they embark on a dangerous race against time to try again. An incredible true story of resistance.
