SeriesDramaWar & Politics
The story of a group of Berlin youths from the post-war period to the post-reunification era. A gripping story of friendship, love and betrayal against a global political backdrop, told in a three-part documentary drama. Friends Kurt, Lotte, Jakob, Silke and Bernd experience everyday life together in post-war Berlin in 1948: between rubble women and the black market, rival youth gangs and first love. Thirteen years later, as the flow of refugees to the West increases, they try to hold on to their friendship. But the estrangement becomes ever more apparent and the gang members lose sight of each other. Only after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 do the former friends finally find each other again and have to ask themselves whether they are still bound by the vow they once made: "Nothing can separate us, not even death"...
