A woman looks back on her family: her grandfather, who came to Kiel in 1887 and became rich as a builder in a booming naval port; her mother who had to take care of the younger siblings and missed out on education and training for a proper job, who worked as housekeeper for a rich man and married a refugee Russian; trying to understand why they made the choices that decided their lives and how these choices had consequences for her own life.
½
A story of a vixen who, hurrying home to her own kits, finds a lost one under a bush.
