Sommer 1941: Fünf junge Menschen feiern Abschied. Drei von ihnen müssen an die Ostfront, zwei bleiben in Berlin. Doch alle Fünf sind sich sicher: Bis Weihnachten ist der Krieg gewonnen.
Im Mittelpunkt des Dreiteilers „Unsere Mütter, unsere Väter“ steht das Leben dieser fünf Berliner Freunde, von ihrem Aufbruch im Sommer 1941 bis zu ihrem Wiedersehen – nicht Monate, sondern Jahre später – im Frühsommer 1945. Kriegsjahre, die in den exemplarischen Lebensläufen der Fünf ihre Spuren hinterlassen und die Generation unserer Eltern, Großeltern oder Urgroßeltern geprägt haben.

Berlin, 1941. Five friends eager to become heroes in an adventure that will change the face of Europe - and that will forever change them as well. Level-headed, highly decorated officer Wilhelm is off to the eastern front with his younger brother Friedhelm, a sensitive dreamer more interested in literature than warfare. Deeply in love with Wilhelm is Charlotte, a young nurse who looks forward to serving in the Wehrmacht, also on the eastern front. While Greta is a talented singer who longs to become another Marlene Dietrich, her Jewish boyfriend Viktor still cannot convince his parents to leave Germany... Valor and courage come to the fore, but also betrayal - of values, beliefs, humanity. Friedhelm turns into a soulless killing machine... Wilhelm deserts his troops and is court-martialed... Charlotte's Nazi ideology crumbles when she betrays a Jewish nurse helping the German army... Greta obtains papers for Viktor's escape by selling herself to an SS colonel. They and millions of others wanted to be heroes; but none of them could imagine what the war would ultimately do to them and to the rest of the world.
