8.0Erika Seipold is getting divorced after more than 30 years of marriage. The six-part series very successfully depicts the fate of a woman well over 50 who has been "dumped" from the perspective of the early 1970s, when it was still normal for wives not to have a career and, after a divorce, not only fell into an emotional hole but also had to endure existential fears. Her selfish children and largely unsympathetic environment offer little help; everywhere the protagonist encounters the stigma of being an older, single, supposedly useless member of society – a foreshadowing of the dark side of the cult of youth.
