Nightshift – The Calm Before the Storm
Fighting crime in times of climate change. Hamburg in a state of emergency. A hurricane with wind force 12 is racing towards the city. A prisoner's van collides with an animal transporter. The murderer Axel Krakoff escapes, but so do two monkeys. Before curfew takes effect, insurance scammer Bonnie tries to make a few quick bucks and two rappers start a drug delivery service by drone. In order to have enough dope, they rob ex-boxer Mickey Mommsen. Too bad Mickey is a neighbourhood big shot who you don't mess with. A lot to do for Erichsen and his colleagues from the Criminal Investigation Service and actually nothing special – were it not for the threat of a storm of the century. The best crime fiction entertainment with wry humour, bizarre characters and an outstanding Erichsen.

Schtonk!
SS Man
Schtonk! is a farce of the actual events of 1983, when Germany's Stern magazine published, with great fanfare, 60 volumes of the alleged diaries of Adolf Hitler – which two weeks later turned out to be entirely fake. Fritz Knobel (based on real-life forger Konrad Kujau) supports himself by faking and selling Nazi memorabilia. When Knobel writes and sells a volume of Hitler's (nonexistent) diaries, he thinks it's just another job. When sleazy journalist Hermann Willié learns of the diaries, however, he quickly realizes their potential value... and Knobel is quickly in over his head. As the pressure builds and Knobel is forced to deliver more and more volumes of the fake diaries, he finds himself acting increasingly like the man whose life he is rewriting. The film is a romping and hilarious satire, poking fun not only at the events and characters involved in the hoax (who are only thinly disguised in the film), but at the discomfort Germany has with its difficult past.
