Guten Morgen, du Schöne: Julia is a 1980 film for GDR television by Thomas Langhoff based on a chapter from the 1977 book Guten Morgen, du Schöne by Maxie Wander .

action

Julia, a 90-year-old woman, sits on a train and tells her unfamiliar fellow passenger about her life. Her appearance, her facial expressions and stories suggest that she has always belonged to the "finer" society. Julia met her first husband when she was a young girl and immediately fell in love with him. But only on the wedding night did she see him for the first time without clothes and the sight confused her so much that nothing more happened that night. Although she found no sexual satisfaction in her husband, she had a child from him. After his untimely death, she had to go to work to earn a living and therefore her child was looked after by her mother.

A representative office in a bank became a 2-year service. During this time she also met her second husband. But he has also died in the meantime, as have many of her friends and acquaintances. She talks about her living environment in Berlin-Steglitz, to which she has remained loyal. In any case, she is still optimistic about life, is always friendly, does not let anything get her down and is of the opinion that she has experienced everything beautiful that a woman can experience.

production

The GDR television produced nine TV productions based on Guten Morgen, du Schöne , whereby three episodes by the director Hans-Werner Honert were banned from performance and could therefore only be shown after the fall of the Wall .
