First Ladies
2015 | ARD | 90 min./2×45 min.
Representing Germany alongside the Federal President is not an office, but a task that has been shaped by women in an extraordinary way since the very beginning of the Federal Republic.
We tell the eventful history of our country through the eyes of our First Ladies. This is 60 years of Germany, contemporary, moving and exciting – between the Cold War and the Capri Sun, rearmament and the World Cup, the death of trees and the fall of the Berlin Wall, private, emotional and, last but not least, entertaining.
Archive excerpts and interviews with contemporary witnesses and the former First Ladies create a vivid picture of contemporary German history.
