Geschichte
An emotional journey back to the 50s and 60s: Through photos and film footage from her childhood, the 48-year-old filmmaker Marie remembers growing up in bourgeois post-war Germany. Marie is once again confronted with the early death of her mother and the excessive demands of her conservative father. He has no understanding for her and deports her to a Catholic girls' boarding school. A youth characterized by constant rebellion against the mustiness of the post-war years and against a society that expects one thing above all from girls: to smile nicely into the camera and under no circumstances direct the film themselves!
Zusammenfassung
Marie, a 48-year-old filmmaker, embarks on an evocative journey through her past, delving into vintage photographs and footage that transport her back to the 1950s and '60s Germany of her youth. Born into bourgeois post-war society, Marie's childhood was shaped by her mother's early demise and her conservative father's rigid expectations. His lack of understanding pushed Marie towards constant rebellion against societal norms that demanded girls simply smile for the camera, never aspiring to direct their own films. As a teenager, she found herself sent away to a Catholic boarding school, further fueling her defiance against the mustiness of post-war Germany and the restrictive roles prescribed by society.
