(May contain spoilers) I always appreciate to learn what happened in the world through those historical films, and this one is moreover magnificently played, directed and built on a solid and moving scenario. The man's personality is particularly impressive. I admired this ex-prisoner courage who engaged in passing East-Germans to the West, even when this courage turns to be obsession sometimes, especially when he goes as far as risking his wife and his daughter's lives. I guess very few people would have the nerves to go even half that far. It is nevertheless still a true and admirable story. His wife's eventual suicide brings us to a sad end though...
