A communist kangaroo moves in with an artist in Berlin.

1940年6月、フランスが降伏し、ドイツ国中が戦勝ムードに沸く中、首都ベルリンに暮らす労働者階級の夫婦、オットーとアンナのもとに1通の手紙が届く。それは、彼らのひとり息子ハンスの戦死を知らせるものだった。それ以来、2人は、悲しみと失意を怒りに転化させ、ヒトラー政権を批判するメッセージを匿名の葉書にせっせと書き綴っては、街のあちこちに人知れずばらまくという、ささやかな抵抗運動に身を投じるようになる。

西暦2174年、地球は滅亡を迎えようとしていた。そんな中、ある惑星へ移住するため、6万人の人類が宇宙船エリジウムで出発。やがて、二人の飛行士が冷凍睡眠から目覚めるが、二人は記憶を失ってしまっていた。そして、船内にいるはずのない恐ろしい何かが存在することに気付く。

In this grim German drama, a troubled 14-year-old boy's pent-up rage and frustration leads him to involvement with a bad crowd and gets him caught up in an inescapable spiral of increasingly self-destructive and deadly violence.

Proud and determined, the hunter set out, leaving behind his village ravaged by a terrible drought. All the villagers came out to wish him well, and everyone gave what he could: an egg, a handful of peanuts or a few kola nuts... As in the folktale, Sobgui, a former computer programmer who now drives a "clando" cab in Douala, flees to Europe to escape a life in Cameroon which has become unbearable. In Cologne (Germany), Sobgui joins a community of African emigrants. Most are hard-working and ambitious people. Sobgui begins a love affair with Madeleine, a German political activist who encourages Sobgui and his friends to return home and fight for change.
