Esta es la apasionante peripecia de un hombre que firm su sentencia de muerte con la intenci n de no cumplirla.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A frustrated athlete, an abandoned woman, and an almighty secret service battle in this emotional and political drama based on real-life events. A story about love, betrayal, courage, hope, loss, and reunification.

It was 1979 when acclaimed soccer player Lutz Eigendorf gave up everything, his wife Gabi, his two-year-old daughter Sandy, his job, his life in socialist Germany, and left in search of freedom. The desertion by the famed player of the Berliner FC Dynamo was a low blow to the socialist regime and for Erich Mielke, president of the soccer club and head of the Stasi intelligence service.

Eigendorf tries to reunite his family on the west side of the wall, but the most effective secret service in the world subjects Gabi and Sandy to endless interrogations and an ironclad harassment. Was he aware that his escape put his life at risk and condemned his entire family? This is the exciting quest by a man who signed his death sentence with no intention of ever fulfilling it.
