The more martial and dramatic “Recap Teil 1” has a more strident percussion undercurrent, more insistent string writing, and a generally darker tone. “Alle Ehre” starts the score off simply, with a gentle melody for strings and piano, and has a lightness-of-heart in the upbeat and optimistic “Fünf Freunde”, before things start getting more dramatic, and the onset of war and the specter of right-wing nationalism begins to raise its ugly head. The series stars Volker Bruch, Tom Schilling, Katharina Schüttler, Miriam Stein and Ludwig Trepte, was directed by Philipp Kadelbach, and has an original score by composer Fabian Römer. The narrative spans five years in Berlin in the 1940s, beginning when the friends meet up for a last time before embarking on their journeys, enthusiastically vowing to meet up again the following Christmas. The story follows five friends in their 20s, each on different paths through Nazi Germany and World War II: two are Wehrmacht soldiers on the Eastern Front, one is a nurse, one is an aspiring singer, and one is a Jewish tailor. Unsere Mütter, Unsere Väter is an ambitious 3-part German mini-series broadcast on the ZDF network in March 2013.
