Plot
Anna Kaminski (Eva Kotthaus) is a factory worker in East Germany. Her five-year-old son Jochen, whose father had died in the war, lives with his grandparents in Bavaria, only a few kilometres away from the town where she lives with her parents. Anna wants her child with her and plans to abduct him. She gets help from Carl (Erik Schumann), a Bavarian policeman who falls in love with her as he moves between East and West. She finally decides to move to the West to be with Carl and her son, but every day the borders are being more rigorously patrolled and the security tightened, with tragic results. Sky Without Stars is one of the few German romantic films from the 1950s which deals critically with the political situation between East and West on a very personal level.
