Escape! Escape from East Berlin

December 1961. It was only recently that Marta witnessed Berlin being divided into East and West. And even more recently that her brother was shot in an attempt to cross that border. When Marta is confronted with a promising—but dangerous—opportunity, she faces a difficult choice. Is the desire for freedom strong enough to risk even more death? January 1989. The Berlin Wall splits the city in two. Kurt often wonders if his parents, banished to the other side of the wall, ever think of him. When his older brother, Franz, a border police officer, tells him that shooting is temporarily prohibited at the Wall, Kurt devises a plan. He must go to the West to find his parents. Even if it means defying his brother.
