Ку'дамм 56 - бунтовник без кауза - Сезон 1 (2016)

From the producers of Deutschland '83 and Generation War, Ku'damm '56 is a story set in post-World War II Berlin, where to a back drop of the new sound of rock 'n' roll, young women look for a new female identity as worlds collide between prudishness and emancipation. At the Berlin dance school called "Galant," the proprietor of the dance school, Caterina Schöllack, has three daughters whom she plans to integrate into this hierarchically structured society. Two of her daughters seem to abide by their mother's wish: Helga appears to have made a brilliant move with her marriage to the jurist Wolfgang von Boost. Nurse Eva does everything she can to get married to the Head Professor Fassbender. Only Monika, the middle daughter, rejects the given path and discovers rock 'n' roll and a whole new life of choice and adventure for herself. Monika's story and that of her two sisters are exemplary for many lives in a time when a woman's life was determined by her place next to her husband. At the same time, however, the women of this generation were searching for a new female identity, and were inspired by the burgeoning demand for equal rights. Will Caterina find a way of breaking the will of Monika to shape her into the woman she expects or will the lure of choice, rebellion and a new life take Monika on a new path thanks to the new world of rock 'n' roll.
