518    Originally produced by DEFA Film Library in 1983. 
520    Twelve-year-old Isabel and her mother, who was a famous 
       political singer, had to escape Chile after the 1973 
       military coup. Isabel’s father stayed behind fighting in 
       the underground. For six years, they have lived in a new 
       apartment building in East Berlin. At first, the neighbors
       made an effort to welcome them, but later became more 
       distant. Isabel does not feel at home in the strange 
       country. Not even her friendship to Philip, the neighbors’
       son, can change her mind. Almost every day, Isabel sits on
       the stairs waiting for a letter from her father, from whom
       she has not heard for many years. Immediately after the 
       coup, the GDR accepted over 2,000 political refugees. 
       ISABEL ON THE STAIRS—in which the lead roles are played by
       Chilean exiles—describes the fate of Chileans in GDR exile
       in the late 1970s. Official positive statements about the 
       presence of Chilean refugees contradicted the realities of
       life for the expatriates in the GDR. In the 1980s, many 
       Chileans left the GDR for Western Europe or returned home.
