In 1979, Communist East Germany was still full of proletarian optimism. The two friends Jonas and Fred are so thrilled to get a boomerang from the West ; that they decide to dig a tunnel to Australia. They start digging in a defunct factory. Neither of them can escape their dream – not Fred, who is a gifted sprinter and gets sent to an elite party sports academy, nor Jonas, whose Christian mother has applied to leave for the West.
