| Summary: | Berlin 1961: a love triangle develops as the Berlin Wall is being constructed. Eva, a young East German girl, must decide between two very different brothers - Klaus, who believes in making quick cash as a taxi driver in West Berlin, and the quiet, shy electrician Ulli, who stands firm behind the socialist ideology of the GDR. On August 13, 1961 Ulli stands guard at the border between East and West and, gun in hand, forbids his brother to cross into the West. When Klaus is later arrested for trying to flee, Eva makes her decision. With a small team Frank Vogel filmed on the streets of Berlin and observed the everyday life of the people with precision and humor.
