Barbara

In 1980s East Germany, Barbara is a berlin doctor who applies for an exit visa to move West. When the visa is denied, she is banished to a medical clinic in a rural area. Deeply unhappy with her reassignment and fearful of her co-workers as possible Stasi informants, Barbara stays aloof, especially from the good natured clinic head, Andre. Instead, Barbara snatches moments with her lover as she secretly prepares to escape one day. 

Despite her plans, Barbara learns more about her life, and this shines a new light on her desires and the people around her. With a new perspective, Barbara finds herself facing a painful moral dilemma.
