Jauche und Levkojen

The focus is on Maximiliane von Quindt (Ulrike Bliefer), born in 1918 at Gut Poenichen. After her mother (Franziska Bronnen) moves back to Berlin and her father is killed in the First World War, Maximiliane is raised by her grandparents Joachim (Arno Assmann) and Sophie Quindt (Edda Seippel). In the extensive forests of Pomerania, she grows up carefree as a child of nature. She often stays away from school, so that she is finally taken to a boarding school. At the age of 18, Maximiliane marries the ardent Hitler supporter Victor (Wilfried Klaus), who brings her back to the local estate. Her husband spends most of his time in Berlin and makes a party career there. However, his party card offers the family protection during the Nazi dictatorship. When the Poenichen estate can no longer be held due to the course of the war, Maximiliane has to flee west with her four children.
