A documentary dedicated to the 10th World Festival of Youth and Students held in East Berlin in the summer of 1973.
This black and white documentary follows Ewa from Witunia and other girls from Poland, who work at Kabelwerk Oberspreee in Berlin since about a year. The movie tries to find out how the young women feel living in the GDR, working with their german colleagues. Ewa is critical and tries to fight widely spread prejudices about Polish and German people alike and she also speaks out about injustices at work.
On October 13, 1957, cash was exchanged in the GDR (old bills 1:1 for new bills). The film reports on this event.
