Brief synopsis

Romania in the 80s: Gregor and Vali want to escape the communist regime across the Danube: Via Yugoslavia on to West Germany. Both need each other, both distrust each other.
During the journey to the escape site, Gregor discovers that Vali has not kept to the agreement and has someone else with him. Gregor does everything he can to avoid having to take the person with him. But events overturn and suddenly Gregor's life is in the hands of the third party.
A character study that explores the question: Is humanity worth it? (Source: Film Catalog Screenings A6 HFF FIL-11)
