Ein Gefühl von Hoffnung

In the Ruhr area in 1959, the chimneys are still smoking everywhere, but the coal crisis has already begun, and restless times cast their shadows ahead. The young bookseller Inge still lives in Grandma Mine's little house, as does her 17-year-old sister Bärbel, who often causes trouble with her rebellious behavior. It has long been clear that Inge will finally marry her childhood sweetheart this year and forge her own path. A well-ordered life lies ahead of her. However, conflicts are brewing that will put the family's cohesion to a tough test.
