Following on from Edgar Reitz's highly acclaimed history of 20th century Germany through the lives of the occupants of a single village Heimat: A Chronicle Of Germany, Heimat 2: Chronicle Of A Generation and Heimat 3: A Chronicle Endings and Beginning, comes the feature length part of the epic saga Heimat Fragments – The Women for the first time ever on DVD.

Lulu, the daughter of musician Hermann Simon, is looking for something she feels is missing from her life. She delves into the past, and is transported to the lives of her ancestors via dreamlike sequences that show the hopes and realities of her female relations over the course of an entire century.

Heimat Fragments – The Women is a surreal trip into the lives of venerable characters from different periods in Lulu's family history including war episodes and every day family life on the farm. This gripping film shows fragments of the lives that made Lulu the woman she is today.

Heimat Fragments – The Women will be released on UK DVD on 13th September 2010 by Second Sight at the RRP of £19.99. No extras have been detailed.
