Dec 28, 1980

Ralph grows up in pre-war Dresden as the eldest son of a principled and orderly streetcar conductor.

His father is one of the first to be called up to the front. His mother is left alone with the responsibility for Ralph and his younger brother Achim. In the air-raid shelter, during the nights of bombing and later in the daily struggle against misery and hunger, the mother quickly abandons all moral baggage and develops a pragmatic will to survive, for which she admires Ralph.
