Kinemathek – Art House Theater
To mark her 40th birthday, director Heide Breitel interviewed female friends of the same age about their experiences. All of them – born in 1941, the Chinese Year of the Snake – lived through war, displacement, the economic miracle, the constraints of the 1950s and their liberation from these through the student and women’s movements.
