Only the eagle knew the way for them

In 1984, in the middle of the Cold War, two people meet in no man's land on the zone border and immediately recognize that they are meant for each other. But the unrelenting regime of the novel's hero, a Stasi agent of the GDR with a so-called "e;Romeo mission"e;, abruptly and definitively dashes all hopes and mercilessly makes him pay for the failure of his mission in the FRG. Without any hope of seeing his beloved wife again, only the thought of revenge keeps him alive until he is released at the end of the GDR, but this stands in the way of a new chance for the couple after the fall of the Wall. It would now take the intervention of a higher power to reunite the two.
