Edeltraut Elsner

A divorced woman tries to restart her life.

A gay man lives with a lonely old lady in a demolished house in Berlin. One day the old lady's daughter stands in front of the door and wants to bring her mother home.

An elderly lady has a trauma and simply must celebrate Christmas every day of the year, to the dismay of her family and relatives.

Tensions arise when a US military base is built in a small village in post-war Germany.

A group of German boys are ordered to protect a small bridge in their home village during the waning months of the second world war. Truckloads of defeated, cynical Wehrmacht soldiers flee the approaching American troops, but the boys, full of enthusiasm for the "blood and honor" Nazi ideology, stay to defend the useless bridge. The film is based on a West German anti-war novel of the same name, written by Gregor Dorfmeister.
