What's a real life story of a person you know that is so dramatic, it could be made into a movie?

Hm, that would be of my foster-mon. It's a longer story, so bear with it ;)

She was born into a rich family in the 50's in Germany, her father an ex-soldier who was captured in Russia and went to soviet prisoner of war camps. He came from a poor family (but had a mother of nobility who lost her status when she was forced to marry the poor man that was thought had impragnated her, but than not, and after the marriage than real), but out of his own power he managed to become a well-known ingenieur that married his older and richer supirior. This supriror came from an old and nobel family who lost all their fortune twice during the World-wars and the lost german theritories, but always worked their way back with cleverness.

Both had three children, but her father died when she was just 10 years old out of an illness her father got during the time in war prision. Her mother followed him just 8 years later. My foster-mom, the oldest of the three children, stopped school to work so she can afford her good school for her brothers. She refused to take money from the sister of her father because this woman was manipulative. Now a little rushed montage about how she climed to success, she worked herself into management-possions, became part of the big players until she meet a man in her 30's that she fell in love with. He owned a young company that both in years of hard work created. One failed pragnancy later the sister of that man, who had a mental illness due to an head-trauma she got during an acciden in her childhood, couldn't raise her own children anymore and they came to this woman and the company-owner. My foster-mom stopped working and cared for me and my two sisters for several years, but after a relationship of 11 years, this uncle of mine kicked her (and us children) out because he found a woman one year older than his dauther from his first marriage. My sisters went back to my mom who, thanks to her new husband, was able to help them, while I, the youngest, decided to go with this foster mom. She cared for me like a mother while my uncel, now showing his evil side, try to get even the last cent out of her for his own greed. After making her loose her house that she put as a safty for credits of the company of this uncle, she moves into a small apratment, now dependent on the very aunt of her that she didn't want to be dependent when she was 18. Now, turn of events: The uncle dies and everyone fears the heritage because the company, that was once thought that it go to me, could now come to me, along with a hell lot of evidence of his crimes against my foster-mom that she could use to get rid of her debts all together, and she could have a happy life after all that.
