The contrasts between Marlen (Corinna Harfouch) and Fynn (newcomer Daniel Sträßer) couldn't be any more extreme if they tried: Marlen's apartment is packed to the rafters with objects too valuable or important to throw away, while Fynn plans to go through life with only 100 things in his possession. The fact that they can't keep their hands off each other and end up falling in love holds true to the old adage that opposites really do attract...

Herself
Writer
A girl struggling with asthma is taken to a clinic in South Tyrol to be cured. After some time she decides to get out of this hell (that's how she feels about it) and soon she'll meet a new friend. Together they try to reach the peak of a mountain where, according to an old custom, she can be healed.
A film director confides in his interlocutor. He talks about the working process, about creative blocks, about artistic crises and expressive forces. At some point, the idea takes hold that this conversation could be turned into a film. And this is the very film we’re watching the two of them in.
Voice
Worn-down pavements, broken paving stones. Trees that jut out of the concrete, casting shadows on to crumbling façades. The centre of Tbilisi in the summer of 2013. Glimpses of side and main streets, over railings and under balconies, of an architectural cacophony. The voiceover spoken by Natja Brunckhorst reflects on the nature of streets and public spaces.
Narrator
“Imagino un espacio aéreo en el que se ha lanzado una bomba, que aún no ha llegado a su blanco, y que ya es imposible detener. Me pregunto qué clase de tiempo existe entre el lanzamiento y la explosión. No es el futuro, pues la destrucción aún no ha tenido lugar. Ni es el pasado, pues todo será destruido en un instante”. Así empieza The Airstrip, y ese instante que describe es el modernismo –auge y caída– del que da cuenta a través de edificios en Berlín, París, Buenos Aires, Brasilia, Saipan, y más. Un film en el que da esquinazo a toda idea preconcebida sobre su serie arquitectónica, y en el que la guerra, lo personal, e incluso el surrealismo, caben

Christiane
Cristina es una adolescente de apenas 14 años que poco a poco se va enganchando a la heroína, hasta el extremo de tener que prostituirse para pagarse su dependencia. Durísimo relato sobre el efecto de las drogas en la juventud, basado en la historia real de Christiane Vera Felscherinow, una exadicta alemana que describió su lucha contra las drogas en la adolescencia en el libro "Los niños de la estación del Zoo". Dirigido por Uli Edel ("El cuerpo del delito", "RAF Facción del ejército rojo"), el filme fue protagonizado por una jovencísima y debutante Natja Brunckhorst ("La princesa y el guerrero"), que tenía solo 13 años cuando se rodó el largometraje. Como curiosidad, David Bowie realizó un 'cameo' en la cinta, pues justamente fue en un concierto que dio el cantante en Berlín donde la protagonista probó por primera vez la heroína.
