CROSSING THE SKIES - From East-Berlin Around the World

Germany | 2008

Synopsis
Welcome aboard INTERFLUG, the only airline of the former German Democratic Republic! Fasten your seatbelts on this turbulent flight through the lives of an East-German flight crew. Four stewardesses and one pilot look back at a time when crossing borders between East and West was the privilege of only a few. With their western adventures and outsider-perspective on GDR-life, they experience the fall of the Berlin Wall differently: Like a hard landing when INTERFLUG was shut down in 1991, but also like a head-start into a new life. How did they manage? Head in the clouds or feet back on the ground - Where do they stand today? Reviving the turbulences of German history, the film navigates through the difficulties of living a self-determined life before and after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
