Stefan Vogel, a tender guy turning out to be up within the former East Germany, longs for romance, glory and freedom - yearnings that specific themselves in a lifelong myth of going to the USA. The hopeless son of an bold mom and a type yet unfortunate diplomat, Stefan lurches among his budding, covert pursuits - women and Romantic poetry - to discover himself embroiled in dissident politics, which oddly turns out to supply both.
In time, through a sequence of blackly comedian and more and more harmful manoeuvres, he contrives to make his delusion come precise, discovering himself not just within the state of his desires, but in addition married to the lady he idolises. the US turns out every thing he anticipated and in the meantime his secrets and techniques are thoroughly locked away in the back of the Berlin Wall.
A new lifetime of unbounded bliss turns out to were granted to him. after which that existence starts off to disintegrate. ..
