Einfach raus

"Einfach raus!" is the wish that 18-year-old Andreas has had for a long time. Simply get out of the GDR and go to the West to realize his life's dream and study physics. Suddenly, in the historic summer of 1989, his dream becomes reality. The Hungarian-Austrian border is surprisingly opened and the first refugees ask for asylum at the German embassy in Budapest. When Andreas spends his vacation with his parents at a campsite in Hungary, he takes the opportunity and tries to escape to the west at night and in fog.
