Based on a true story. Helke Sander pulls out all the stops and delivers a bold and breath-taking performance born of sheer desperation. The occasion is extremely serious and leaves a woman with no other choice than to literally put her own life and that of her two children at risk. A radical feminist statement on motherhood and social indifference.
