The family members of those murdered along the border between East and West Germany tell their stories. A mother still has no idea what happened to her son’s corpse after he was shot dead, with the killer getting a two-year suspended license. Another woman still doesn’t know how and why her husband drowned near the border. A man discovers photographs in a Stasi case file and sees images of his father’s dead body for the first time. Even now, more than a quarter of a century on, they still suffer the trauma of their loss.
