Synopsis
East German tourists simply adored Lake Balaton and not only because they were not allowed to travel anywhere else, but because of its silky waters and sunny weather. It was a meeting place between East and West where divided families could enjoy Hungarian hospitality but many of them were under surveillance by the East German Stasi and the Hungarian Ministry of the Interior.
