CGiii Comment
Uferfrauen portraits six Lesbian protagonists from rural and metropolitan parts of the formerly socialist Republic and has them tell their captivating and sometimes outrageous life stories:
Meet Christiane from Berlin, Carola from Dresden, Pat from Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania as well as Elke and the long-term couple Sabine and Gisela from Saxony-Anhalt.
The women allow a glimpse into their up-bring and their everyday life in that period, and describe their struggle for self-determination and fulfilment, their first love, ways of unconventional family and life planning as well as their conflicts with the ruling socialist party and jurisdiction.
