A centuries-long conflict in Ireland that had led the country to be divided into a southern and northern part in 1921 escalated in 1969. Republican-Catholics entered armed battle with the Unionist-Protestants. Thousands of people lost their lives. Women are invisible in the historical documentation of this conflict. Directors Friederike Berat and Ulrike Ertl tell these women's stories. They visit those who fought on both sides and record the interviews on camera. "Without the women the war could not have happened!" says Veronica. She describes the women's involvement in the conflict as an emancipatory undertaking, an opportunity to expand their existence as housewives with the dimension of struggle. Not all interview partners share this view, the memories of the "troubles" are diverse, thus forming a dynamic picture of the events.
