action
On November 9, 1989, the young Jenny Ecker from Bad Soden am Taunus made the decision to move to her boyfriend in East Berlin . Jenny's father, a wealthy entrepreneur who himself fled the East to the West many years ago, disagrees with this. On the way to her boyfriend, she is pursued by her father, who promises all people he meets first a reward of 100,000 DM , and later one million DM for the capture. After a short time, the chasing group grew rapidly.
On the west German side of the inner-German border , she stumbles over young Volker, who is just getting out of an escape tunnel that he dug for himself and his Bavarian friend Franz. Since Volker thinks it's about Jenny's life, he takes her back to the GDR and renounces his freedom. In a stolen Trabi and later a Porsche Cayenne , which was developed by an East German scientist, it goes to Berlin.
The supposed refugee from the republic Volker and his companion Jenny are now being pursued by the young lady who was commissioned by the new, completely overwhelmed state council chairman Egon Krenz . It turns out that the young lady is Jenny's father's ex-girlfriend before he fled to the West. Out of frustration, she mercilessly hunts down refugees from the republic. When the enemies of the state Volker and Jenny keep escaping, she finally moves into Berlin with a tank to capture the two.
Jenny finds out that her Berlin friend is a macho with a whole harem. She and Volker are placed in front of the house by their father and also by the young lady , but they can escape. Egon Krenz wants to go to Günter Schabowski with the new travel law , and in doing so he is chasing enemies of the state. On the chase, however, Krenz is stopped by a barrier while he is on the phone with Schabowski. Therefore, he shouts: "Barrier up, but hopp, hopp !!", which Schabowski takes literally and this is announced in the well-known press conference .
The group comes to the Sonnenallee border crossing , where GDR citizens are protesting to leave the country. Jenny's father is able to stop the young lady from shooting Jenny's car with the tank. She orders a retreat, but the controls of the tank fail and it breaks through the wall , the border is open.
