An East German man finds a way to cross the border between East and West Berlin. But when he succeeds in bringing his wife out as well, things are not quite as expected.

1971 film by Reinhard Hauff

1986年的金熊奖得主《施塔姆海姆》是柏林电影节历史上最富争义的得奖电影之一。当年的评审团主席、意大利女演员和摄影师吉娜·罗洛布里吉达在颁奖典礼上公开宣布，自己不同意评审团的决定，并使用“令人作呕的”一词来描述这部电影。 导演豪夫在本片里使用戏剧化但又间离中立的方式展现 了联邦德国1975至1977年针对第一代红军旅（RAF）领导人的审判，他大量使用法庭记录中真实的对白，同时掺杂了虚拟的情节。影片中的四名被告人巴德、迈因霍夫、恩斯林、和拉斯普届时都被关押于斯图加特城郊的施塔姆海姆监狱。他们与辩护律师一道质疑法庭审判的公正性，同时为自己的恐怖主义行径辩解。庭审中大大小小的风波都体现在片中。审判中途，迈恩霍夫与自己的牢房中上吊死亡。1977年著名的德意志之秋事件中，剩余三名被告人也在同一晚上死于自己的牢房中。

Born into a well-off family, Franz Blum had led a carefree youth until, some time after graduating from high school, he was arrested by the police. For, involved by a gang of bad boys, the young man had taken part in a bank robbery. A "heroic deed" which earned him six years in prison. Once behind bars, he was treated with ruthless inhumanity by the guards. And little by little - but inexorably - Franz turned into an insurgent...

One night when seeking his estranged wife, Hoffmann goes to the youth center where she works. The police are there rounding up radicals who frequent the center - Hoffmann runs into the building and ends up being shot in the head. He awakens with brain trauma, partially paralyzed and unable to speak. The police accuse him of stabbing an officer; the radicals herald him as an innocent victim of police brutality. During his slow recovery at the hospital, Hoffmann must piece together his life and struggle to remember the events of that night.
