About Einfach raus
"Einfach raus!" is the wish that 18-year-old Andreas has had for a long time. Simply get out of the GDR and go to the West to realize his life's dream and study physics. Suddenly, in the historic summer of 1989, his dream becomes reality. The Hungarian-Austrian border is surprisingly opened and the first refugees ask for asylum at the German embassy in Budapest. When Andreas spends his vacation with his parents at a campsite in Hungary, he takes the opportunity and tries to escape to the west at night and in fog.
Directed by Peter Vogel, Einfach raus leans on a strong ensemble — Fabian Busch, Cosma Shiva Hagen, Inga Busch — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1999.
