In spring 1990 – between the fall of the Berlin Wall and German reunification – the first former GDR citizens fly to Mallorca. Mallorca is a place of longing for many East Germans, known to them from their West German relatives’ colourful postcards. Suddenly, anything seems possible.

An animated documentary film; a collage of postcards, holiday photos and documents.
