Böseckendorf - die Nacht, in der ein Dorf verschwand (Spielfilm)

In the fall of 1961, the mayor of a small village in the Thuringian border region accidentally learns of a secret plan to forcibly relocate all the inhabitants. In a risky operation, 53 people decide to risk the dangerous border crossing to the West. But not everyone is prepared to flee and tensions in the village escalate. In addition, a Stasi informer threatens to betray the plan.
Based on true events, the film tells a gripping story of courage, solidarity and the longing for freedom.
