The Rautenbergs: the story of a West German entrepreneurial family and its decay. When Wilhelm and Inga met, Adenauer was still sitting in the chancellery. Doctor’s daughter Inga is a beauty and Wilhelm, the successful dressage rider, is the best match. But shortly after the birth of her second child, Inga dies of leukemia. The younger daughter is given to her maternal grandparents, the older one stays with her father. To escape the constraints of the free church community and his strict mother, the father builds himself a house miles away from his nearest neighbor. After seven years, Wilhelm brings his youngest back to him - just like in a fairy tale. But what follows is anything but fairy tale.[automatically translated by DeepL]
