Synopsis
In the 1980s, metal workers and the Stasi, East Germany's Ministry of State Security, collaborated to build new border barriers. These structures aimed to prevent escape attempts to West Germany. After regular working hours, they designed and tested barricades to withstand car collisions. By the mid-1980s, these barriers were installed at all border crossing points. The documentary presents the motivations behind these efforts and the tragic outcomes of escape attempts, reflecting on German engineering and military practices.
