Rama dama is a German feature film released in 1991 that describes the hard life of wives and mothers left alone after the end of World War II .
action
While her husband Felix has to fight on the Eastern Front , Kati Zeiler's apartment and hairdressing salon are bombed out while she is in a bunker with her little daughter. She and her daughter flee to the countryside and have another girl there while American soldiers are occupying the village.
After the war, she struggled with her two children as a tram conductor and rubble woman through life in destroyed Munich . When trains with returnees arrive at Munich Central Station, she stands on the platform with many other women. She has a photo of her husband in her hand. There she met Hans Stadler, who pretended to have been in a camp with her husband. Stadler, who used to live nearby in a house that has now been destroyed, is building makeshift accommodation in Kati's courtyard.
Little by little there are fewer and fewer women on the platform. Only Kati continues to hold up the photo. The hope of the return of her missing husband is therefore sinking every day. She gets to know and love Hans better, and her life gets back on track. The older daughter says daddy to Hans.
But one day Kati's husband Felix, who was thought to be missing, suddenly returns. She has to choose one of the two men. Out of loyalty, she chooses her husband and against her new love.
"Rama dama"
The phrase “ rama dama ” was coined by the then Mayor of Munich , Thomas Wimmer (“Wimmer Damerl”). This request in Bavarian dialect literally means “we will clean up” in High German or “let's clean up!”. OB Wimmer called on the population to clear away the rubble and ruins of the Second World War. Even today, a publicly organized event in the Bavarian-speaking region, at which rubbish is collected in nature (mostly with the participation of the population), is often referred to as a "Ramadama" campaign.
criticism
“A film with a love of detail, but not always coherent in its atmosphere, about the post-war development phase, which addresses many problems but does not reflect them. Access for non-Bavarian viewers is made more difficult by his linguistically consciously sought closeness to Heimatfilm. "
The German Film and Media Assessment FBW in Wiesbaden awarded the film the rating particularly valuable.
Others
The film shows the real birth of Theresa Vilsmaier , the daughter of leading actress Dana Vávrová and director Joseph Vilsmaier. These recordings were made possible by a gynecologist who was close to the family.
