Viento de libertad

East Berlin, 1979. A child drops a toy rubber duck in a puddle. Two families stitch bedsheets into a hot-air balloon. Stasi agents spot a scrap of fabric near the border fence. The families build a second balloon while the room fills with smoke from the burner. A director’s relic of real tension, snug in its classically framed dread.
