Documentary film about the inhabitants of the village of Gager on the island of Rügen. The net and trap fishermen are a close-knit community and use the three seasons of fall, winter and spring to make ends meet for themselves and their families. In summer, many of them offer holidaymakers their vacation rooms, during which time fishing takes a back seat. With impressive pictures and original sounds, the women and men describe their experiences and compare the difficult times before and the up-and-coming times after the 1950s. The mayoress of the village of Gager and the district of Groß Zickau tells vivid stories about the "battles" within her own family and against the men of the village and the party leadership in order to achieve certain goals for the benefit of all.
Directed by Kurt Tetzlaff
