Heimat
A Chronicle of Germany
Created by Edgar Reitz
On Das Erste
An epic, multigenerational chronicle of a small German village from 1919 to 1982, told with patient intimacy and deep historical consciousness, where personal lives are inseparable from the sweep of 20th-century upheaval.
Spanning 1919 to 1982, in the fictional village of Schabbach, live Maria Simon and her family, whose lives and community are changed by historical events around them.
