Story
Linda is a headstrong woman. She marries and lives with her husband Paul in the Ruhr area. But 12 years of marriage do not make Linda happy. She dreams of seeing the sea and is constantly in search of fulfillment. Her husband doesn't understand her. Instead, he goes his own way. They have three children together, but Linda continues to live in her own world. A few days before her dream of the sea comes true, Linda dies in an accident at a freight station.
Summary
In the industrial heartland of Ruhr, Linda, a woman of fierce independence, had spent a dozen years in matrimony with Paul. Their union, borne of a spontaneous lunch-break wedding, was as tumultuous as the steel mills that surrounded them. Three children filled their home but could not anchor Linda's wandering spirit. She yearned for the sea, a longing her pragmatic husband could never comprehend. Before she could taste saltwater, fate intervened at the freight station, claiming Linda in a sudden tragedy.
