A bounty hunter disguises himself as an Indian. He wants to prove against a deceased landowner that she led a double life as a wanted robber and murderer. He pretends to be a shaman in order to confirm his suspicions behind the back of her grieving maid and then disappear with the body. Unfortunately for the bounty hunter this does not agree with the maid, who has her own plans for him...

Two families attempt a daredevil plan to escape the GDR with a homemade hot air balloon, but it crashes just before the border. The Stasi finds traces of this attempt to escape and immediately starts investigations, while the two families are forced to build a new escape balloon. With each passing day the Stasi is closer on their heels – a nerve-wracking race against time begins.
