Six life stories of women in Poland and Germany that turned out differently than hoped: »Arbeiterinnen« tells the story of the experience of social decline related to the loss of work across three generations. For over a year werkgruppe2 conducted interviews with women from working-class families in the industrial regions of Lower Silesia and the Ruhr. The film is a touching and intimate portrait of women in Poland and Germany who are among the socially excluded and poses the urgent question of mutual solidarity.
