The film team has shot four documentaries in the small city of Wittstock since 1974. In the spotlight of these films were the female workers from the newlybuilt textile company in Wittstock, in which nearly 3.000 women worked in 1984. In the same year a full-Iength documentary, "Leben in Wittstock" (Life in Wittstock) was filmed as a summary. (These films ran at the "Forum der Junge Film" (Forum for new films) and were broadcast several times by the ARD - Allgemeine Rundfunkanstalten Deutschlands). After the fall of the Berlin wall, filming began on a new documentary in the city of the Brandenburg March north of Berlin. In the course of the film, the changes in the city and the surrounding area are documented. The chronological course of the film is determined by three women whom the film team met in 1974 and finally accompanied over 18 years.
