DocumentaryDramaHistory

Emma Freese is desperate when her husband Alfred falls ill at the Howaldtswerke in Kiel. How is the family supposed to get by without their wages? The war has scarred this generation, but now things are supposed to be looking up. The workers want their fair share and are fighting for an income that also gives them room to live. In October 1956, 34,000 metalworkers in the shipyards and factories of Schleswig-Holstein walk off the job to fight for justice and their dignity. This strike is still regarded as the toughest and longest in Germany. Employers and politicians stand in the strikers' way.

Movie

Tunis, winter 2010, a few weeks before the fall of Ben Ali. Loyal friends Fathi, Moha, and Walid stick together to try to survive in a society ruled by corruption, fear, and injustice. Moha, the eldest and a talented musician, destroys himself with alcohol out of rage at not being able to make it big, secretly dreaming of a clandestine passage to Lampedusa. Walid, a smooth talker and handsome guy, is skilled at taking advantage of a system that disgusts him. Fathi, the youngest and most idealistic, naively hopes to get a teaching job through competitive examination and has just fallen in love with the pretty Noura, a liberated young woman who flirts with cyber-dissidence. Then, in a deprived provincial town, the suicide by fire of a young vegetable seller sets Tunisia ablaze. Each of them will see their lives turned upside down in the turmoil of this end of an era...

Weaving strands of poetic imagined drama, and archival footage into the interview, Preston presents both sides of her parents' wartime marriage: the horror and hardship of battlefield and prison camp juxtaposed with the loneliness and grief of a young wife struggling with a newborn baby and a husband declared missing.Ed Preston, on his way home from rugby practice in 1940, joins the New Zealand Army to go to World War II. His new wife, Tui, is pregnant and distraught, but he tells her not to worry, he'll be home by Christmas. And so he is - four years later - after escaping from a prison camp in Italy. But while Ed is away, Tui has fallen in love with another man.
