Summer 1979, Thüringer city, East Germany. Two families come up with a crazy plan - they are desperate to leave socialist rule and find the dreamed West and, to cross the border, plan to use a hot air balloon of their own development. A few meters away from the dreamed western side, they seek the ideal balloon to reach the goal and make the first test - a total failure. Police discover the plan and pursue them as traitors. Desperate to escape oppression and racing against time, the two families come together for the project.
