Most women work harder than men.
They do the things they want to do when they have already spent sixty hours working on something else. Edda is tough, like so many others. These are the words of Helke Sander, who both directed and played the leading role in her first fiction feature, which reveals three days in the life of a woman and photographer - and three days in the life of West Berlin in March 1977. She struggles to maintain her commitment to herself as a woman, artist and single mother, and to support herself and her daughter financially and spiritually. She joins a small team of photographers who have been commissioned to take pictures of West Berlin.
