Uferfrauen - Lesbian Life and Love in the GDR


 Six lesbians who created a private world for themselves despite state repression speak out about life behind the Wall in the GDR (former East Germany). Through intimate romances and lives as mothers and workers, these women, from both rural and metropolitan areas, found a way to exist. The captivating and sometimes outrageous stories of their upbringing and everyday lives, intertwined with portrayals of the role of women in this communist state, illustrate their struggles to stay true to themselves within society’s (private) margins, always in the quest for personal happiness and strength despite the pressures of conformity.
