Documentary film describes the motives of 3 West German families that led them to flee the Federal Republic of Germany or to move to the German Democratic Republic. To offer their children a secure future - that is the main motive for many West German parents to flee. The social security of citizens in the GDR and the willingness to welcome citizens from the Federal Republic are emphasized. The film is enlivened in its own way by the original soundtracks of the people interviewed, as well as the Cold War-style commentary. The final sentence is typical: "Since 1949 there has been a state of working people on German soil, here the lessons of the past have been learned, here is the peaceful, better Germany, the Germany that belongs to the children, to whom the future belongs".
