PLOT
It may have been 20 years ago that Inspector Kreuzeder (Sigi Zimmerschied) was the best inspector in the homicide department of Lower Bavaria with a fantastic clear-up rate. A lot has changed since then, in particular Kreuzeder himself. The weight gain from 176 pf to a good 220 pf wouldn’t be so bad – no, what really gets on the nerves of department manager Becker (Johannes Herrschmann) is the fact that Kreuzeder can no longer be distinguished from a neglected alcoholic, even externally. Not to mention that his clearance rate should be 0 by now. A very particular annoyance is that Becker’s disciplinary measures seems to have come to nothing.

When the boy falls unhappily in love with the beautiful vaudeville dancer Anezka (Emma Drogunova), he seeks advice from Freud, but has to realize that the world-famous psychoanalyst is just as confused by the female gender as he is.

PLOT
When Mina (Pegah Ferydoni), who lives in Iran, and the German Iranian doctor Kian (Hadi Khanjanpour), get married in the traditional way, without knowing each other for long it’s not exactly love at first sight. But the newlyweds hope for a happy marriage in Germany, where Kian grew up and works as a doctor. Although both try, the relationship seems increasingly defective like the grey cat that Mina buys, and that Kian can’t stand. The couple attempts to try to find each other every day anew. A turning point is in sight when they slowly manage to break free from the charged expectations, their own and those of friends and family.

PLOT
A film biography about the famous scientist. The Polish Maria Skłodowska, born in 1867, already showed great talent in physics and chemistry at school. Since women are not allowed to study in Poland, she leaves her home country to study in Paris. For years she has to assert herself against hostility in a male-dominated branch of science. In Pierre Curie (Charles Berling) she finally meets a man who treats her as equals in every respect. A deep love develops from the cooperation and the two get married. Despite the blows of fate, Marie Curie (Karolina Gruszka) does not let herself be deterred in the years that follow - which is rewarded in 1903 with a proportionate Nobel Prize in Physics and in 1911 with the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. At the same time, after the death of her husband, she finds a new love in her married colleague Paul Langevin (Arieh Worthalter). But when the affair becomes public, it leads to an outcry...

PLOT
Family father Hans (Justus von Dohnány) is in crisis. His working life has just come to an abrupt end and his family doesn’t seem to be paying much attention to him either. Suddenly a stray dog appears in front of the door and demands admission into their family life. While his wife Yvonne (Juliane Köhler) immediately falls in love with the dog, Hans, faced with the new “rival”, realizes more and more how superfluous he is himself. When the dog disappears one day and a stranger (Georg Friedrich) offers to help the family, things get completely out of control for Hans.
“The Dog buried” is a dark comedy about the fear of being replaceable and the inability to talk about it. About handling problems the wrong way. And about the need to catch the right moment for the truth - no matter how bitter it is.

When Pit has to vacate his apartment, he moves in with his son Flo (Michael Kranz) under an excuse. He gets more and more entangled in contradictions and untruths. Only when Pit meets his childhood sweetheart Christiane (Inka Friedrich), whom he still loves and seems to scare away with his sales attempts, he realizes that he has to change his life.

PLOT
Based on the popular Bavarian folk tale, the movie tells the story of the widowed gunsmith Brandner Kasper (Franz Xaver Kroetz) who lived in the mountains around Schliersee in the mid-19th century. Kaspar improves his scarce livelihood by poaching - a risky business in which he is supported by young Toni (Peter Ketnath), who is in love with Kaspar’s beautiful granddaughter Nannerl (Lisa Maria Potthoff).
Shortly before his 70th birthday, Kaspar receives an unexpected visitor: The Death (Michael “Bully” Herbig) shows up to take him to the realm of the dead. But Kaspar doesn’t want to die just yet - and resorts to a clever trick: he gets the Death drunk and challenges him to a game of cards for his life. In the game, Kaspar cheats on the Death and thus gains 20 more years of life. However, he soon realizes that his cheating has dramatic consequences. When his beloved granddaughter dies in an accident, the Death makes him an offer.

PLOT
Germany, 1927. Berlin is the metropolis of the fine arts. In this environment, drama student Harry Frommermann (Ulrich Noethen) decides to found an extraordinary a cappella troupe. Following in the spirit of his role model, the American vocal ensemble "The Revellers", he composes cheeky, happy melodies and gathers a group of young talents around him: Robert Biberti (Ben Becker), the son of a well-known singer, Roman Cycowski (Heino Ferch), a Polish ex-opera singer, bon vivant Erich Abraham Collin (Heinrich Schafmeister), the Bulgarian ex-officer Ari Leschnikoff (Max Tidof) and the 19-year-old pianist Erwin Bootz (Kai Wiesinger). After some initial difficulties, the meteoric rise of the "Comedian Harmonists" begins. They are enthusiastically celebrated at concerts; their songs inspire millions. Success leaves the men carefree, and so they don't take the rise of the Nazis seriously – even though three of them are Jews.

PLOT
Austria, early 19th century. The introverted Elias Alder (André Eisermann) lives in the sleepy alpine village Eschberg. Ever since he was a child, Elias, who always seems a bit lost in thought, has been avoided by the other villagers. One reason for him being different is his ability to hear all sounds of the universe: Elias has absolute pitch and an enchanting singing voice.
Music is his passion, and as a young man he delighted the people of Eschberg in the church with his virtuoso organ playing. Elias’ only real friend since childhood is the neighbour’s son Peter (Ben Becker), who has fallen for Elias in almost idolatrous love. He suspiciously observes how his sister Elsbeth (Dana Vávrová) falls in love with Elias. Peter’s raging jealousy of the shy love between Elsbeth and Elias finally leads to a chain of tragic events that threaten to drag the entire village into the abyss.

PLOT
A fine brush that boldly writes fine lines on paper. Chinese characters that make the sentence: I had a dream. It is the 40-year-old Madarin Kao Tai, who sits and writes in the middle of the imperial courtyard garden. Next to him is a stack of sheets that have already been written on. A poem obviously: “I dreamed of flying iron dragons and shiny ashlar stones”. He smiles, closes his eyes. An airplane flies silently across the sky, leaving a contrail.
