For years after the end of the war, most Germans separated from their loved ones dreamed of family reunification and a normal life. But private life behind the doors of their homes did not provide the peace of mind these people longed for. What happened left a deep mark on the families' daily lives. Fathers and husbands became different after the war and captivity. Their children grew up and were brought up in an atmosphere of silence, innuendo and strictness. Eventually the generational conflict turned into street riots. Florian Huber describes the post-war family drama from the point of view and on behalf of these people. Among them we see a front-line soldier returning from the war leading a double life, a young mother confused by her own secrets, a schoolboy exposing parental lies, a girl daring to rebel against the rudeness of her soldier-father. In the fates that tell of a world untouched by the optimism of the recovery society, the dark depths and bottomless abysses of that era are palpable.
