Oranges for Christmas

Oranges for Christmas

"Sixteen years after the end of World War Two, Berlin is occupied by the Americans, British and French in the West and by the Soviets in the East. Citizens of West and East Berlin cross the border regularly, to go to work or to visit family and friends. But then on the morning of 13th August 1961 Berliners wake up to find that this is no longer possible. The border is closed. 17 year old Sabine, her mother and younger sister are trapped in East Berlin. Dieter, Sabine's older brother, is in West Berlin. For Sabine and her family, the only option is to escape from East Berlin. But there's a wall which is guarded by armed soldiers. Escaping from the East to the West is a matter of life and death. And the East German state security police - the Stasi - are watching everyone, all the time, watching."
