Synopsis
When Frank took to the sea in the sixties, he left behind a wall and a woman. The wall was the one that divided Berlin for 28 years. The woman was his first love, Elisabeth. A Wall Within reveals the truth behind the walls in Frank’s family. Why did Elisabeth break her promise and never meet Frank in the West? Why won’t Frank speak to his brother who still lives in the East? A Wall Within tells the story of one man’s incredible life and the walls that still divide a family today -30 years after Berlin’s fell.
The film won the Best film jury price at the Festival du Cinéma des Femmes of Fort-Coulonge on august 11.
