Budapest, Hungary’s capital, is bisected by the River Danube. Its 19th-century Chain Bridge connects the hilly Buda district with flat Pest. A funicular runs up Castle Hill to Buda’s Old Town, where the Budapest History Museum traces city life from Roman times onward. Trinity Square is home to 13th-century Matthias Church and the turrets of the Fishermen’s Bastion, which offer sweeping views.

The film tells the story of a car mechanic in Berlin-Reinickendorf, who decides to modify his car to hide a passenger within a modified engine compartment to help them escape to freedom in West Berlin. BMW's film is based on the true story of Klaus-Günter Jacobi, who helped his best friend flee East Germany by smuggling him across the Berlin Wall in a BMW Isetta. On the evening of May 23, 1964, a few minutes before the border closed at midnight, Jacobi drove his BMW Isetta with his childhood friend, Koster, tucked inside.
