Summary

A young woman reflects back on her recent past, her love for Manfred, a talented and successful chemist, Manfred's bitter disappointment in the face of rejection, his escape to West Berlin a few weeks before the Berlin Wall is erected, and his hope that she will follow. Based on Christa Wolf's internationally acclaimed novel and criticized in the GDR for questioning the construction of the Wall, the film was made during a brief cultural thaw in the early 1960s
