A comedy directed by George Moorse.

Carol es una mujer joven insatisfecha y exigente con la vida. Para probarse a sí misma se hace pasar por terrorista. Es internada y mantenida en observación en una residencia, a pesar de no estar enferma. El suicidio de un paciente la hará enfrentarse a la realidad y tratar de volver a la normalidad.

Lo primero que llama la atención es la austeridad casi documental con que Schroeter encara la parte inicial del relato, ambientada en un pequeño y paupérrimo pueblo de Sicilia. Schroeter va dando una visión bucólica de esa gente y su tierra, de sus ritos y tradiciones, pero no deja de señalar la miseria y falta de trabajo que los empuja a emigrar a Alemania. Con el viaje de Nicola hacia Wolfsburg, donde está ubicada la fábrica automotriz Wolkswagen, se inicia la segunda parte, tremendamente crítica para con la sociedad alemana, en donde Schroeter va descubriendo paulatinamente signos de indiferencia, violencia y racismo. La tercera y última parte de Desarraigo se concentra en el juicio al que Nicola es sometido, acusado de asesinar a dos hombres. Aquí, poco a poco Schroeter se va desprendiendo del tono realista que imprimió a las dos primeras partes del film y recurre a una puesta en escena operística.

Anna is a Jewish girl in Germany. When the Nazis come to power in the 1930s, her family has to flee the country without being able to bring any of their belongings. Even young Anna's pink toy rabbit has been confiscated along with the family's other possessions. Initially the family lives in Switzerland, but even here they come to feel the antisemitism. And when money becomes scarce, and Anna's father can't find work as a journalist and Jew, they move on to France, where they are no long submitted to racial discrimination, but struggle financially. Eventually the entire family manages to go to England.

It is about a gang of middle class teen kids who stumble upon a crime in their neighborhood. Remarkably one of the gang members is in a wheelchair, he is somewhat the leader of the group.

A rock band moves into a farmhouse in a little village. They are eyed suspiciously by the citizens of the village.

Every day they clean the dirty windows of their cars from the filthy film that has formed overnight. Measuring stations call a low smog warning. But one day a soccer player collapses on the pitch with breathlessness.
