Ku'damm 63 (TV Miniseries)

2021 · Movie · 90 min. · Germany

TV Miniseries. Three 90-minute episodes. “Ku’damm 63” marks a followup to “Ku’daam 56,” and “Ku’damm 59,”, and its premise remains the same: the story of Germany’s halting evolution toward larger justice and liberty told through the loves, hard-won freedoms and suffering of three sisters, Monika, Helga and Eva, daughters of a conservative matriarch. Time has moved on, creating a contrast. Berlin’s Ku’damm by 1963 is a less somber place when compared with the ‘50s. U.S. President John F. Kennedy visits Berlin and famously proclaims “I am a Berliner.” The city begins to swing in fashion and music. But the sisters are now grown women. The very larger freedoms of the early ‘60s make the sisters more determined and energetic in their confrontation of roiling frustrations and disappointments in their marriages and relationships as a new mindset sets in. With German society not as free as it claims to be and their mother a bastion of rigid mores, the sisters’ desire for larger liberty and equality boils toward open rebellion.
