Set in the 1950s in a small town in Germany with a large-scale US military presence, this historical drama is a powerful story of friendship between two young women during a time of upheaval.
A fictitious small town in southwestern Germany in the 1950s. Two young women strive to create lives for themselves during a time of great change caused by the presence of the U.S. Army, putting themselves and their friendship to the test. Both, in their own way, seize the opportunities of social and cultural change. But while Marie, who comes from a conservative farmer’s family, slowly develops into a modern, enlightened woman, the extroverted Erika seems unable to fully adapt to the changing times.
“Presented as an almost perfectly staged melodrama that integrates its themes intelligently.” – Tittelbach.TV
“The cast is terrific. There are intoxicating dance scenes in the village pub, deceit, betrayal and dark secrets. In other words, everything that brings emotion into the story.” – Stern
“Overall, this mini-series captured the air of the post-war period very well, with all its contrasts. And many things from the supposedly long ago are more relevant than ever.” – Monsters & Critics
