Description
The story of the first German female photojournalist and elite gymnast from East Germany – a poignant piece of history. When Angelika Stein is expelled from school at the age of fifteen, it seems her dream has evaporated. No photographer in Kassel wants to take on a girl as an apprentice, especially one with unfinished schooling. However, Angelika does not give up – and eventually, she is given a chance by a photographer who recently escaped from East Germany. At the same time, elite gymnast Kristýna Magold is diligently training in East Berlin to represent East Germany at the Olympic Games. But is it really her dream? During the construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961, the two women meet under dramatic circumstances. Katharina Fuchs tells the story of two equally stubborn and brave young women set in West Germany and East Germany with great attention to detail and empathy. Recent history comes alive alongside two troubled female destinies.
