Sorry Comrade

An (almost) unbelievable love story. Letters from their youth catapult Hedi and Karl-Heinz back into their past: the medical student from the GDR and the FRG student love each other in times of the Cold War. Separated by the Iron Curtain, they want nothing more than to finally be together – but that proves difficult. After Karl-Heinz applies for naturalization in the GDR, which leads to entanglements with the Stasi (East German secret police), the two have no choice: Hedi must flee the GDR! The couple work with friends to devise a 'master plan' for their daring escape, in which they travel to Romania disguised as travelers. But shortly after crossing the border, a series of unfortunate coincidences attracts the attention of the authorities. Hedi's escape is in danger of failing at any moment...
