Some get a lot, some get a little, some get nothing

The main heroine of this period drama series throws herself into her career as a social worker with absolute dedication, encountering both predictable and unexpected obstacles. Her deep personal commitment soon begins to impact her private life. The declared aim of this late 1970s series was to showcase the work of child welfare departments at the National Committees. Perhaps because the stories were selected with the help of psychiatrists and psychologists, the author managed to depict the problems of children and young people – often exacerbated by the overall social situation of the time despite official state support for families – with minimal obligatory ideological concessions.
