Heimat 1 - A Chronicle of Germany tells the touching story of the Simon family in the Hunsrück village of Schabbach. At the center of the saga of the century is the mayor's daughter Maria, whose fate is closely linked to the political events of the time. When she married Paul Simon, who had returned home from the First World War, she believed she had found happiness. But one day Paul disappears without a word...
In this great triology, contemporary historical events are cleverly interwoven with the personal fate of the family. The first part sensitively portrays life in Schabbach from 1919 until Maria's death in 1982.
