Edda is a freelance press photographer who lives as a single mother in West Berlin. She manoeuvres between career, child and life, exhausted and yet full of energy. She's looking for a unique view of the city for a women's photo project on Berlin, all the while managing the chief daily business of reading the newspapers, listening to East radio, reading to the child... A (woman's) life that requires a lot of energy and can't do justice to everyone, in a divided city whose wounds are clear for all to see.
