A portrait of a 74-year-old woman who lives in modest circumstances in a village in Brandenburg and tells her story on camera: born in 1904 in Rastenburg (East Prussia), Wolters Trude moves to Berlin at an early age with her parents and five siblings. At the age of nine, after the death of her mother, she was placed in an orphanage. In 1918, at the age of 14, she was placed with a family, working in their restaurant. She married in 1929; her husband turned out to be an alcoholic; she had eight children, six of whom survived, and whom she raised practically on her own.
