The Promise
A pointed account of star-crossed German lovers, covering a 30 year timespan, beginning with their separation while trying to escape from East to West in 1961. Their relationship mirrors German history during this period, and serves as a metaphor for a divided, and then reunified Nation. Corinna Harfouch, Meret Becker.
