Two suitcases, a schoolbag, a cuddly toy – that’s all Nelly Senff and her son Alexej take with them to start their new life in the West. A Volkswagen stops in front of their house in East Berlin. A West German takes them over the border. Nelly pretends to marry him. She is nervous. It’s summer, late 70s – three years after Wassilij’s death. Nelly’s boyfriend died in a car accident. Since Alexej’s father is dead, Nelly wants to leave, too. Away from the GDR, to leave the memories and the grief behind. To get a fresh start.
