Rita Vogt is a radical West German terrorist who abandons the revolution and settles in East Germany. With a new identity provided by the Stasi she starts a new life. But then the worst possible thing happens: The wall falls... A group of RAF terrorists need to flee the Federal Republic of Germany after a disastrous rescue attempt during which a lawyer was killed. Unexpected help comes from the Stasi, who not only give them a place to hide but also provide them with new identities. Thus, Rita Vogt is given the chance of a new life as a worker in the GDR. Yet, the search for her is still going on and her anonymity in the GDR does not last long. Several times the "legends" collapse and Rita, out of fear that her cover blows, has to give up the life that she has build up, detach herself from people and step by step from her ideals as well. After the fall of the Berlin Wall she has to flee for one last time... (Cinemax)

At times when there were rumors going around the Czech Republic about German cinematography, saying that it’s fairly bad and that the only truly high-quality movie was Knockin' on Heaven's Door, there was actually a lot of directors in that neck of the woods, brimming with ideas and showing some real high-quality filmmaking, only we didn’t really know about them. One of those directors is Volker Schlöndorff, who has filmed a very decent drama based on a real story. It might be a little dated, but it’s also radiates rawness and authenticity. The ending is right out of an old French crime investigation movie, but you’ll remember it for a long time to come. The German Film Festival has showed us once again that German cinematography isn’t bad in any era.
