For 28 years, the Wall divided Berlin, tore friends and families apart. The two comic authors Susanne Buddenberg and Thomas Henseler interviewed contemporary witnesses and recorded their experiences. Five true stories tell of a time that was not long ago, but is hardly imaginable today: a young woman tries to leave the GDR with a false identity card. A refugee is shot at the border without the help of a rescue team. A whole family hides in a GDR government building near the Wall and hopes to escape to the West from here. A young man secretly photographs the border fortifications and falls into the clutches of the state security. An East Berlin student explores West Berlin at night and celebrates the party of his life. "BERLIN - Divided City" also leads to the original locations of the stories: At the station.
