Story
Imprisoned by the Stasi (State Security Police) for trying to escape from East Germany, Stein endures years of torture. Bought out by the West in the early 70s, he runs an organisation helping others flee the GDR – so successfully that the Stasi sets up Operation Scorpion to kill him. Based on the autobiography by Wolfgang Welsch, and starring Jörg Schüttauf and Martina Gedeck, Stephan Wagner’s film is an intense, shocking drama.
