Three young rebels in the seventies: Katharina Fuchs recounts her youth
After the best-sellers about the lives of her grandmothers, her mother and her aunt, Katharina Fuchs recounts her childhood and youth in seventies and eighties Hesse.
On the same day that Vietnamese orphan Claire arrives at the children’s home, Minka and Caro witness their classmate Guy dying in an accident in the swimming baths. Their fathers are the SPD mayor and the factory director respectively, and their network starts to work. The friends realise that something is wrong in their small industrial town: contaminated rivers, animal testing and experiments with psychotropic drugs. How precious is a life?
“Sensitive portrait of a generation, which Fuchs has created from her own biography.” Freundin
“An era of change that is important for us women and emancipation. Atmospheric and compactly told.” Meins
