Die Berliner Mauer teilte Deutschland für fast 30 Jahre. Sie zerriss Familien und zerstörte Biografien. Wer sie überwinden wollte, riskierte sein Leben. Die zweiteilige Dokumentation erzählt die Geschichte dieses unmenschlichen Bauwerks. Sowohl dem Bau der Mauer im Jahr 1961 als auch ihrem Fall im 1989 ging ein regelrechter Countdown voraus. In beiden Episoden der Dokumentation beginnt dieser genau ein Jahr zuvor und folgt den Meilensteinen der Geschichte – bis zum jeweiligen „Tag X“.
