Wilma is a woman of many talents. She knows as much about electricity, machines and fruit as she does about the feeling of disappointment. Until the late 1990s, she lived in the former East German lignite mining region of Lausitz. But when her husband cheats on her and she loses her job, Wilma leaves her home without further ado. In Vienna, in her mid-40s, she started a new life – without a plan, but with a good dose of energy. She made ends meet as an all-round craftswoman, moved into a left-wing alternative flat share and got not only power lines but also her own life back up and running...
