Summary Who was this woman? Using questions as a starting point, director Melanie Lischker recreates her mother's life in filmic fragments. The result is a collage of over 100 hours of Super 8 and video material, most of which was recorded by her father of family life in West Germany in the 1970s and 1980s. We delve into the life of a teenager who dreams of escaping the bourgeois conditions of the small Bavarian town in which she grows up. Images of the initial infatuation of Lischker's parents, accompanied by diary entries made at the same time by her mother, a woman torn between the traditional role model of housewife and mother, and the desire for autonomy and equality. In Lischker's story, her mother gradually disappears from the family - seemingly without a trace. What remains are questions that the filmmaker also asks her father and brother. An intimate contemporary documentary in the context of women's emancipation in West Germany. Source: DVD
