Stefan Heym

After the mysterious disappearance of a German soldier from a Prague cafe, the staff and customers are held captive by the Nazis accused of murder and collusion with the Czech resistance.

East Germany, late 1970s. At an East Berlin clinic reserved for high-ranking officials, two men meet who have only one thing in common: both suffer from heart disease and are terminally ill.

The desperate struggle of the Baden folk hero and poet of freedom, Andreas Lenz, clearly shows the difficulties of implementing profound changes in a society.
