The Campaign

The story of Jörg and Kai begins in Berlin, 1987. Jörg served as border guard on the west-side of the Berlin Wall, while Kai served on the east-side. After fulfilling his service, Jörg left Germany behind, got married and settled in Denmark. But a part of the Berlin Wall remained with him – as a mental barrier that stayed with him throughout his life. One day, Jörg’s daughter Catherine decided to help her father overcome his mental barrier – the inner wall – by planning a trip to Berlin. Catherine booked an apartment via Airbnb so both she and her father could embark on their journey. Upon their arrival, father and daughter where greeted by their host, Kai. Soon Jörg learned that Kai was a guard on the east-side. Suddenly these former enemies met again, but this time as friends.
