Besuch aus der Zone (1958)

Herr Reichert and Herr Kleinschmidt were business partners and jointly owned a company in what became East Germany after the war. Kleinschmidt fled to West Germany with his family while he had the chance, Reichert remained and kept the business going. It is mainly orders from Kleinschmidt that keep the company going. When the orders are canceled, Reichert travels to the West to meet his erstwhile business partner, and there are complications arising from the two entirely different political systems of the two countries. The East German state police are even suspecting that Reichert has no intentions of returning to the East after his visit.
