Write in front. The historical background of East Germany and West Germany: East and West Germany were divided according to their respective occupations by the Allies and the Soviet Union during World War II. The United States, France, Britain, and the Soviet Union each had one share. Because Britain and France were greatly injured at the end of World War II, and the strength of the United States was greatly increased, it was actually equivalent to the occupation of Germany by the United States and the Soviet Union. After the war, Eastern European countries began to adopt the Soviet model: ignoring the development of light industry and service industry, workers' wages were not raised, and people's living standards were not improved. By the end of the 1980s, hundreds of thousands of East Germans fled each year. West germany.

summary of the story. Two families in East Germany, in order to pursue a free living environment, they built a hot air balloon after hardships in an attempt to cross the border and escape to West Germany, very Germany! The escape plan of the fugitive and the tracking and investigation of the secret police started at the same time, and the rhythm was tight and eye-catching.

The only slot in the show: the eldest son exposed his family's plan to the secret police's daughter, which is really cheating.

There are two warmths in the whole play: one is that the daughter of the secret police did not betray them. Second, the kindergarten teachers did not betray them.

    If the border is not used to defend against invading enemies from outside, but to resist people who defect from within, no matter how beautiful the blueprint is, it can only prove the failure of its system. The story of what happened on both sides of a Berlin Wall has actually explained a lot, but many people have turned a blind eye to it until now. Adapted from real events, the whole process is very tense, very observable, and quite impressive.
