Who were the players in the 'poker game' between East and West? What were the stakes? This documentary focuses on the diplomatic twists and personal stories behind key moments in the struggle between hostile ideologies and superpowers. While unfolding THE COLD WAR STORY in the fields of politics and diplomacy, the military, economy and everyday life, the films deliberately contrast the enemy camps and perspectives: East vs. West; US vs. USSR; West Germany vs. East Germany. An intriguing journey through the rhetoric and aesthetics of the time, with archive footage being part of the story.
