Translation of "Töchter der Hekuba"
Produced by Juhani Kärkkäinen and Tapio Riikonen
"Hekuban tyttäret: Romaani" by Clara Viebig is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story appears to delve into the emotional and psychological impacts of war on families, particularly focusing on the experiences of women as they wait for news of their loved ones serving in the military. The main character, Mrs. Bertholdi, reflects on the absence of her sons due to the war, entwining her thoughts with the nature of motherhood and loss, casting a poignant light on the personal tragedies wrought by conflict. The opening of the novel presents Mrs. Bertholdi as she navigates the silence and emptiness of her home in the aftermath of her sons’ departure to war. She is engulfed by worry and a sense of loss, reminiscing about the past when her home was alive with youthful energy. The narrative introduces her deep concerns about her sons’ safety, particularly her youngest son, Heinz, who is gearing up to fulfill his military duty. As she awaits letters from them, the emotional strain of constant waiting becomes palpable, illustrating a mother’s anxiety and helplessness amid the chaos of war. The presence of another mother, Mrs. Krüger, seeking news about her own son, adds a layer of interconnectedness and shared grief among mothers waiting for their sons to return.
