Mathilde is young, beautiful, full of dreams - and determined to lead a different life in the sixties. Together with four students, she founded a shared apartment in Hamburg in which property, loyalty and family should be abolished. Free love, art and revolution are supposed to drive away the old thinking. Johanna was born in 1967 - the "community child" of a generation that believed it was reinventing the world. Fifty years later, Johanna wonders what remains of all the ideals. She sees her mother age, the men disappear, the dreams fly away - and feels how difficult it is to understand her own life. With wit, tenderness and precise irony, Carin Abicht tells of the glamour and failure of a time when everything seemed possible - and of the daughters who have to live on with their parents' dreams.
