Alemania, década de los 70: violentos atentados terroristas sacuden los cimientos de la todavía frágil democracia alemana. Los hijos radicalizados de la generación nazi, dirigidos por Andreas Baader (Moritz Bleibtreu), Ulrike Meinhof (Martina Gedeck) y Gudrun Ensslin (Johanna Wokalek) libran una guerra mortal contra lo que consideran el nuevo rostro del fascismo: el imperialismo americano respaldado por el gobierno alemán. Su objetivo es crear una sociedad más humana pero, al emplear medios inhumanos, no sólo provocan terror y muerte, sino que ellos mismos se vuelven inhumanos. El hombre encargado de darles caza, el jefe de la policía alemana Horst Herold (Bruno Ganz), en el fondo los comprende. Y, aunque triunfa en su implacable persecución de los jóvenes terroristas, sabe que no representan más que la punta del iceberg.

A holiday celebration with the extended family gets stretched to the breaking point in this comedy from Germany. Sara is happily married to Jan, though this wasn't always the case -- Sara is Jan's second wife, while Sara has three ex-husbands, Gunnar, Andi and Erich, and she and Jan are raising children from each of their previous marriages. Jan is less than thrilled with the prospect of spending the holidays with Sara's mother, but things get worse when he learns his wife has planned a surprise for Christmas eve -- they'll be joined by Gunnar, Andi and Erich, as well as Erich's new wife Pauline, Andi's current spouse Rita and his own ex-wife, Eva. To call the atmosphere uncomfortable is an understatement, and things only get worse when Sara announces she's pregnant, which is quite troubling for Jan since he's been waiting for the right time to tell her he had a vasectomy several months before.

In 1939, after barely escaping the Nazis, a Gypsy family returns to Switzerland only to be torn apart by racial persecution in the benign guise of children's welfare. This fictionalized story of Jana, an eight-year-old Gypsy girl snatched from her parents and consigned to a life of orphanages and bleak foster homes, is based on a little-known chapter of Swiss history: From 1926 to 1972, the state-supported Pro Juventute, a children's aid foundation, forcibly removed some 700 Gypsy children from their families, in order to sever the ties with their culture and assimilate them to a "better way of life." The underlying aim was to preempt a new generation's caravans from following their nomadic traditions along Switzerland's country lanes.
