Description

From Chile to Germany, a heart-wrenching tale of love, loyalty and new beginnings. Santiago, 1973: Rosa is a happy girl, living a privileged life amongst the ruling elite.

But when violence erupts with the Pinochet coup, her socialist parents are the first to be taken.

Forced to flee across the Andes, she finds herself rescued by a Stasi spy, and escapes behind the Iron Curtain to Germany.

East Berlin, 1989: Englishman Patrick Miller has crossed over and is working at the Secretariat for Socialist Correctness in Publishing.

Dragged into a dangerous, cynical world of shady dealings on both sides of the Wall, Patrick doesn't know what he believes in anymore.

Until he meets Rosa... Separate currents of the twentieth century have washed Patrick and Rosa up in a divided city that despite everything they've both come to love.

As the Soviet Union starts to break up around them, the tide of change is too strong for even the much feared Stasi to hold back.

But once the barriers are down and the rubble cleared, what kind of country will they be left with?
