Frequently asked questions

What is Barbara about? Toggle content

Barbara is a young doctor living in East Germany in 1980. She has been banished to a small rural hospital as punishment for applying for an exit visa. Despite her dedication to her patients, Barbara cannot shake off the feeling of being watched and monitored by the Stasi, especially when her new supervisor, Andre Reiser, seems overly interested in her. When a young runaway named Stella is brought to the hospital, Barbara forms a strong bond with her and becomes determined to help her escape. Meanwhile, Barbara's secret lover Jorg has been making plans for her own escape. As tensions rise and allegiances are tested, Barbara must make a choice between love and freedom or risk losing everything she holds dear.
