Heimat

After fighting in World War I, Paul Simon (Dieter Schaad) returns home to his wife, Maria (Marita Breuer), in the small German village of Schabbach. Though Maria has been dutifully raising their children in his absence, Paul finds himself falling in love with Apollonia (Marliese Assman), a pariah in the village because of her past transgressions and supposed gypsy origins. While daily life goes on in this bucolic community, a dangerous regime change takes place in the German government.
