Die Alleinseglerin

'Die Alleinseglering' (the lone female yacht-sailor) dates from 1987. It tells about a divorced young woman, with a small income and a young son to take care of.

When her father dies, she inherits his yacht. Although she does not know well how to handle this boat, and certainly has not enough money to maintain it, she decides to keep it.

This film tells about all problems & complications following her decision. Including relations to several men, who are reluctant to get financially dragged down by her.

The female lead is performed by Christina Powileit, a drummer in an East German female rock band. Christina does not convince as a scientist in a literature institute -- thus making a significant weak spot in this film.

Director Herrmann Zschoche admits that he has done better in other films. Anyway, he is pleased that 'Die Alleinseglerin' did well on television.
