The Baltic Coast, 1988. The East German regime is rejecting glasnost and perestroika, and the Stasi secret police are as busy as ever, meticulously gathering information on all the country's citizens. Police inspector Martin Franzen so far remains faithful to the system. He watches as the body of a woman, Johanna, is pulled ashore from the Baltic Sea. Apparently, she was shot while trying to escape to the West. When an important witness dies, allegedly a suicide, the Stasi takes over the case. But Martin continues to investigate on his own. A mysterious letter leads Martin to East Berlin and to Nina, a Western woman who fascinates Martin... (Filmfest München)
