Ostkreuz

Berlin 1989, shortly before the fall of the Wall. After fleeing East Berlin via Hungary, 15-year-old Elfie (Laura Tonke) and her mother arrive at a container camp in the western part of the city. While her mother (Suzanne von Borsody) comes to terms with the situation and seeks security in an affair, Elfie tries to break out of the cold world on the outskirts of the city. In her attempts to raise money, she meets the young Pole Darius (Miroslaw Baka) and becomes entangled in his opaque black market business. On her forays Elfie meets Edmund (Stefan Cammann), who is the same age and was left behind by his parents when they fled East Berlin. Hesitantly, the two get closer.
