Aerobatic pilot, pioneer of the women's movement and entrepreneur: 
the incredible life of Beate Uhse

 

Even as a child, Beate dreamed of flying - and learnt from her father that she could achieve anything if she wanted to. At eighteen, she gets her pilot's licence and meets the love of her life. But the idyll is short-lived because her husband, also a pilot, is shot down in the Second World War. In post-war Germany, Beate Uhse and her young son are left without anything and must travel around the country to sell goods and earn money. In the process, she becomes aware of the concerns of women who do not want to become pregnant during this miserable time. As the daughter of one of the first female doctors in Germany, Beate decides to help them. She sells an educational pamphlet for a few pennies, which she soon supplements with articles on "marital hygiene".

Because Beate Uhse has a dream: every woman should have the right to an orgasm! This awakens her entrepreneurial talent and her desire to fight for women's sexual liberation - the birth of a legend and the beginning of an empire that everyone knows about ...
