Angela and Regina, tough and down to earth as they are, manage over and again to make their voices heard by their comrades. We join the two fire women in their clubs and on nocturnal missions in rural Brandenburg, Germany. For them and their mostly male comrades in this remote region, the voluntary fire brigade is at the centre of their life: it serves as a match-maker, a familiy surrogate and a focal point for social life across generations. Every single day the two women prove themselves a new, relying onrough jokes as well as passion for this challenging job – and stand their ground in what seems to be a male domain.
