Biologist Nelly Senff is desperate to escape her life in East Berlin. The Russian father of her two children has supposedly committed suicide, and she wants to leave behind the prying eyes of the Stasi. Nelly pretends she'll marry a West German, who drives her, Katya and Aleksei across the border. But the West is not all Nelly has hoped for, and she finds the same levels of suspicion and surveillance that drove them from the East in the first place.
