Day by Day

Accurately observed scenes in a factory in Schwann (Mecklenburg-Vorpommern) which produces agricultural machinery, contribute to the portrait of Karin Reiher, a welder. She learned and practised many trades before she became a welder. Karin Reiher is committed to her work; she is on the lookout for inadequacies and mistakes, supports her colleagues as a trade-union representative and makes a special effort to look after the young workers doing their community service.
