Contents/Summary
- Summary
- Faded photos of young women in Red Army uniforms. One of them is the director's mother, who gave birth on a snowy field in Voronezh in the winter of 1942 and managed against all odds to keep her baby alive on the frontline. The girl was never to meet her father, an officer, and grew up in the GDR with her mother’s German husband. By that time her mother had locked her war traumas away deep inside and it was not until shortly before she died that she was able to talk about the war, in front of her daughter’s camera. Contacting her only surviving uncle, as well as her mother's nurse colleagues from the time, she attempts to piece together her mother's story, but finds herself at a dead end when those she interviews, much like her own mother, would rather not remember.
