Heimat – Eine deutsche Chronik / Homeland: A German Chronicle / Heimat: A Chronicle of Germany (1984) 6 x DVD9

Heimat, roughly translated as "Homeland", takes place in the small village of Schabbach and tells the story of the Simon family, from 1919 to 1982. From the Third Reich, to the economic boom in the 1950s and the resolution of the Cold War in the 1980s, three generations of the Simon clan live through the most decisive moments in modern German history. Rather than focus on well-known national leaders, the series looks at a modest family trying to cope with rapidly changing circumstances.
Central person is Maria, who we see growing from a 17 year old girl to an old woman, and her family. The family, like the rest of the German people live through the crises after WW-I, the rise and fall of Nazism and WW-II, and the rebuilding and the following prosperity of the village (as a symbol for the whole country) after WW II.
