Der Tunnel (2001)

Directed by: Roland Suso Richter

East German swimmer Harry Melchior  escapes to West Berlin in 1961, but is forced to leave his family behind. When he recruits pals Mathis, Vic and Fred to help him dig a tunnel under the wall so he can bring his sister, Lotte, to freedom, he discovers that countless others are looking for ways to get relatives out of East Berlin. Suddenly, a small tunnel becomes a major engineering undertaking.
