About the film
It’s 1989 and Germany is divided into the East and West by the Berlin Wall. Rike is a young girl and an explorer of all things – especially the sky – and she’s about to change the course of history forever. When her uncle Mike is deported from the East, she resolves to rescue him from the enemy and, after witnessing an act of teleportation on television’s Star Trek, believes she knows how. As Rike fights on three fronts against time, her uncooperative parents and a possible blossoming romance, we are witness to a fun and fierce heroine in this hope-filled, historical adventure.

About the Twin Cities German Film Festival
The Germanic-American Institute is proud to announce a new annual event, the Twin Cities’ first German film festival! This four-day event is produced with support from the DEFA Film Library at UMass Amherst and the Goethe-Institut Chicago. The inaugural theme, “Reel Women,” highlights German films with women at the center of the narrative—women who use their passions and skills to instigate changes in their own lives and in the lives of those around them.
