And her story of struggle for survival is set against the backdrop of the war years up to the economic miracle that followed. Hanna Schygulla was awarded the Silver Bear for best actress at the Berlin Film Festival. It is one of Fassbinder's masterpieces that includes several cinematic metaphors about the question of identity and the experiences of post-war Germany.
