Fais ce que tu peux, advienne que pourra !
Tue recht und scheue niemand - Das Leben der Gerda Siepebrink

Jutta Brückner, Allemagne - Duitsland 1975 ⁄ NB - ZW ⁄ 65' ⁄ ST - OND: FR

Jutta Brückner and her mother looks back at the 60 years of her life, talking about her father’s early accidental death, the constraints faced by a lower middle-class family of five, her training as a seamstress, marriage to a bookkeeper committed to social democratic ideals, the privations of war, and not least of all, her later realisation that fear may have caused her to miss opportunities. A montage of images form a mosaic that documents a typical German woman’s life in the 20th century.
