Desc: Die glücklichen Jahre der Thorwalds: Directed by John Olden, Wolfgang Staudte. With Elisabeth Bergner, Hansjörg Felmy, Dietmar Schönherr, Brigitte Grothum. The Thorwald family is well-off and contented when a tragedy strikes: the father is killed in an accident. Frau Thorwald takes over the raising of her children, four girls and two boys with the youngest already fifteen years old. She manages to keep them together in spite of the fact that their economic situation deteriorates after World War I. Never one to look too critically upon her brood, the woman undergoes a moving and gradual transformation as the adult activities of her children bring home the fact that none of them are what she had once imagined.
