Storyline

"Open any door in Melchior Alley, and you'll come face to face with naked misery."

In 1921, we follow two women - Marie and Grete - from the same poor Viennese neighborhood, as they try to better the lives of themselves and their families during the period of Austrian postwar hyperinflation.
