For Ingo, the Berlin Wall is anything but a "blink of an eye in history". Born in 1961, on the day the Wall was built, the erection of the "Anti-Fascist Wall" will determine his entire life in East Berlin. He waits in vain for his father, who has long since moved to West Berlin with a new family, his mother is silent and repressive, and his homeland continues to wall itself off. But when it is no longer possible for Ingo to "stay here" and he is finally allowed to "cross over", legally by applying to leave the country, it is 9 November '89 and the border is suddenly open.
