after Carmen Korn
Born in 1900: a generation of women who had to live through two world wars. One of them is Henny Godhusen. When she began her training as a midwife at the Finkenau Women's Clinic in Hamburg in 1919, she was full of joie de vivre. Her plan was to help bring a new, peaceful generation into the world. She loves the clinic on the border between Barmbeck and Uhlenhorst and the lively district on the Alster. A wide variety of people come together here, but above all there are three women who accompany Henny on her journey.
The longing of the four women stands in contrast to personal strokes of fate and the upheavals of world politics. Their lives are particularly shaken by the rise of the National Socialists and the threat of the Second World War. As different as they are, their friendship is close. Together, they cling to the hope that a new era is finally beginning.
