In 1950, just after the war, a trip to America, to the vast country in the west, is quite an adventure. Kati is an inquisitive and fun-loving young woman and absorbs everything new with a fresh and undistorted eye. How exciting, his goods to be able to look it up yourself in a self-service store, even in the middle of the night if you feel like it! Or to drink coffee in a drugstore and chat casually with nice neighbors at table! It's a miracle that Americans don't get stunted legs with all the cars, thinks Katie.Translator: Else von Hollander-Lossow
