Six lesbians from rural and metropolitan parts of the formerly socialist Republic tell their life stories. The women allow a glimpse into their up-bring and their everyday life in that period, and describe their struggle for self-determination and fulfilment, their first loves, their ways of unconventional family and life planning, as well as their conflicts with the ruling socialist party and jurisdiction.
