Eight Hours Don’t Make a Day
A Family Series
Created by Rainer Werner Fassbinder
A warm, humanistic portrait of working-class life in 1970s West Germany, balancing intimate personal relationships with collective solidarity and the dignity of labor.
The sprawling story of the everyday triumphs and travails of the young toolmaker Jochen and many of the people populating his world, including the woman he loves, his eccentric family, and his colleagues, with whom he bands together to improve conditions on the factory floor.
