Romy Schneider - Ein Nahaufnahme

The army of the GDR, called NVA had not survived the reunification of Germany, it was completely absorbed by the Bundeswehr and scrapped subsequently. But what apparently went on so smoothly as a peaceful unification of hostile brothers quietly left deep scars in the East German landscape.

The film tells the story of two POC teenagers from a traditional polygamous family, daughters of a father and different mothers from the same homestead: interior views from a distant everyday life. Two young women, their hopes, fears and dreams of having children, love and polygamy. Bibi is 17 and already has a baby, 15-year-old Riki is determined to become a private detective in Paris - but she is determined to take the fireplace from her homestead in Africa with her overseas.
