Martha und die Ihren

Martha is an impressive woman who has risen from the poorest of circumstances to modest prosperity. However, the memory of the hardships of her childhood as a foster child with a farming family in the Bernese countryside never leaves her: Show no weakness. Work tirelessly. Be tough on yourself and others. This also shapes her sons, who are determined to achieve something in the post-war period. And her grandchildren, who rebel against this and dare for the first time to dream of a different, freer life.
