Gertrud

About this Event

German Empire. Weimar Republic. National Socialism. Post-war period. GDR. The husband dies. The two sons go to the West. Gertrud stays. In this monologue about her life, Gertrud tells of her family, of her town of Sangerhausen, of the endless struggles of everyday life, of working, defecating, loving—and again and again of her son Einar.
