Alex, Fedja, Timo and Lara are four troubled teens for whom the upcoming Christmas eve isn't a time of peace and joy: Since they all have a history of escalating family conflicts, they'll be spending the holidays not at home, but in a psychiatric ward. The utterly different adolescents not only have to adjust to one another, but also have to confront themselves in exhausting therapy sessions. Yet thanks to the unorthodox psychiatrist Dr. Wolf, the sessions take a turn for the unexpected - and the four experience a Christmas which they will never forget.

All of a sudden, 16-year-old Martha vanishes. Her father Lothar, who for years has had no contact with her or his ex-wife, sets off unwilling to find her. He soon realises other young people are also vanishing from the city inexplicably. Lothar follows their trail across the country. He meets the occasional young person but the trail goes cold. In the next city he encounters militia groups and a reinforced police presence. Children are forbidden to be on the streets unless accompanied by adults. The world has changed...

Marco and Melanie, a young married couple, are living a life of passion, chaos, and all the little frustrations of everyday existence. Their love for each other seems like a beacon on heavy seas. But career pressure, burned toast, and dirty laundry are eroding all tenderness, and they never seem to find enough time for their six-year-old son, Benny, either. Their world is about to fall apart when Melanie moves out, taking Benny with her. She files for divorce, and Marco makes a decision that is not only going to change his own life. He suddenly discovers his own unique way of being a father … I’m the Father is a modern portrait of a generation which appears to fail its own ambitions: After all, how do you combine a job, children, love and all the other challenges of everyday life – without giving yourself up in the process? And then what happens when positions become entrenched and a divorce seems inevitable?

ある夏の午後、ショーバー一家は休暇を過ごすためにレンジローバーでクラシック音楽のクイズをしながら別荘に向かっていた。途中、隣人のベーリンガーと挨拶をかわす。そこには白いシャツと白いズボン、白い手袋を身に着けた2人組の見知らぬ男たちがいた。 別荘につくと妻アンナは夕食の支度に取りかかり、夫ゲオルクと息子は明日のセーリングの準備をはじめる。そこに、ベーリンガーの所にいた2人組の男のうちの1人が、卵がなくなったので譲ってほしいとアンナに話しかけてきた。 アンナはそれを受け入れて卵を渡すが、男は2度も落として割ってしまう。そして3度目の訪問時、態度を見かねたゲオルグに平手打ちを食わされた途端に男の態度は豹変し、近くにあったゴルフクラブでゲオルクの脚を殴りつけ、一家全員をソファーに縛り付ける。2人は悪びれた態度を微塵も見せず、くつろぐように家を占領し続けた。 夜になると、2人は一家に「明日の朝まで君たちが生きていられるか賭けをしないか?」と持ち掛ける。 こうして、残酷でおぞましいゲームの幕開けが告げられた。

The TV documentation reconstructs the incidents between May and November 1989 from the point of view of the Politburo of the GDR (German Democratic Republic). The incidents include the fraud of local elections, the opening of Hungary's borders towards Austria, the ensuing tide of East German refugees to Hungary and Czechoslovakia for transfer to West Germany, the pompous ceremonies at GDR's 40th anniversary, the inept transactions the Politburo took to salvage the situation, the resulting dismissal of their leader Erich Honecker, the international press conference in East Berlin on 9th November 1989, at which Politburo member Günther Schabowski erroneously announced the immediate opening of the 'Iron Curtain', which finally led to the collapse of socialism in the GDR and the other East Bloc countries.
