With his hit film DIE UNBEUGSAMEN, director Torsten Körner created a cinematic monument to the female politicians of the Bonn Republic and their struggle for political participation. Now, with the sequel DIE UNBEUGSAMEN 2 - GUTEN MORGEN, IHR SCHÖNEN!, he turns his attention to the other side of the Iron Curtain and paints a lively group portrait of East German women from the most diverse areas of society in the GDR.
15 self-confident women tell how patriarchy ruled even in the land of state-imposed equality, creating a powerful kaleidoscope of gender relations in the workers' and peasants' state. The film offers a captivating stage for the impressive life achievements of East German women and their fight for equal opportunities and opens the door to a better understanding between East and West.
"Women, if we do nothing today, tomorrow we will live like the day before yesterday." Annemirl Bauer
