Communistisch Oost-Duitsland, de zomer van 1980. De jonge arts Barbara wil het land verlaten en heeft een uitreisvisum aangevraagd, dat door de overheid echter geweigerd wordt. Barbara wordt verplicht haar arbeidsplaats in Berlijn te verlaten om te gaan werken in een klein ziekenhuis, ergens ver weg. Ze is erg teleurgesteld, en hoopt dat haar geliefde Jörg, die uit West-Duitsland afkomstig is, hun ontsnapping voorbereidt. Daardoor kan ze geen gevoelens ontwikkelen voor haar omgeving, haar buren, haar collega's. Haar baas André waardeert haar werk, maar waarom besteedt hij zoveel aandacht aan haar? Behoort hij tot de Stasi?
Nee, helaas is Barbara nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
