Born in the World War II, grew up in the zones and behind the Iron Curtain and on the stage we call the world, when the curtain has fallen.

The film and theater actress Karin Ugowski was regularly in front of the camera over 8 years for the filming of the documentary with the working title "On the Way to Life". It is a very personal and close production about her more than 40 years in front of the camera and on stage in the political change of time and against the background of the German-German history. A film by Sebastian Ugovsky-Strassburger, who has created a film document here with a lot of patience and perseverance, with testimonies of a very personal nature. It is rare to get this close in the reappraisal of German history, without having already committed oneself in advance to one side and variant of the story.
