Two couples who can't stand each other need to become friends. Because this is their only chance for a life-saving organ donation.

Family Neufund is an exchange student from England in the house! The host parents Martin Brambach and Aglaia Szyszkowitz see this as a chance to finally win a girlfriend for their idiosyncratic 16-year-old daughter. But at the airport is not the expected "hip" Sandy McCartney from London in front of them, but a 13-year-old Indian boy! You want to get rid of the little Hindu as soon as possible. In a roundabout way, Zayn Baig in the role of the unwanted guest and Lena Urzendowsky as a loner are still pretty good friends.

Em 1936, fugindo do nazismo na Europa, o ilustre escritor austríaco de origem judaica Stefan Zweig desembarca no Novo Mundo, percorrendo Rio de Janeiro, Bahia, Buenos Aires, Nova York e Petrópolis. Apaixonado pelo Brasil, inicia a escrita de um novo livro, tendo a nova terra como tema, e é na cidade imperial que decide se instalar em 1941. Porém, atormentado pelo crescimento da intolerância, da barbárie e do autoritarismo na Europa, e sentindo-se impotente em não poder ajudar seus conterrâneos a escapar do horror nazista, Zweig sucumbe aos fantasmas do exílio.

Um jovem promotor da Alemanha Ocidental do pós-guerra investiga uma conspiração massiva para encobrir o passado nazista de importantes figuras públicas.

The Spaetkauf (Late Night Shop) has been at the heart of Berlin Prenzlauer Berg and an integral part of people's daily lives for over 13 years. A place to meet and hang out, local bar, grapevine, a place to buy anything you might need out of hours. A place to forget your worries. Where there is always time for the customer. Every night and all day Sunday. With reggae, dub & hip hop playing out of the speakers onto the street. Tommy, the Englishman, has worked in the Spaetkauf for years, selling the wares and dealing with arguing couples, lost tourists, drunken locals, late night discussions, participating in heated basketball games, visiting late night clubs and suffering hangovers. A kaleidoscope of people offering glimpses into their lives, hopes and thoughts, weaving a tapestry of local life.

"In the Shadows" slithers through underworld Berlin in grand style. En route to a twisty finale, German writer-director Thomas Arslan keeps his audience glued to the increasingly desperate actions of Trojan, a thirtysomething career criminal whose latest job slowly catches up with him.

For Jules and Mia time seems to be standing still. Again and again they are trying to reinvent themselves and escape the still image, which keeps them hostage. But as soon as they dive into denial and seem to get hold of a glimpse of intimacy, reality catches up with them and throws them back onto their self-imposed struggle. "Oysters Without a Shell" is the semi-fictional portrait of two women, their dreams and fears, their dysfunctional generation, and Berlin, the city they live in that has — just like them — not found its identity yet.

Berlin: Hauptstadt korrupter Populisten, zynischer Journalisten und fieser Gangster. Regisseur und Drehbuchautor Niki Stein hängt sich mit seiner Story weit aus dem Fenster: Im Hals einer Frauenleiche am Husumer Strand steckt ein Papier mit der Handynummer des Starreporters Kress (Ulrich Tukur). Die Kommissarin Nora Jaspers (Anja Kling) fährt in die Spreemetropole, um den Mann zu verhören, doch ein hoher LKA-Beamter (Walter Kreye) nimmt ihr den Fall weg. Gleichzeitig versucht Noras Vater, der Polizeipräsident Kolberg (Hanns Zischler), eine Law-and-Or­der-Partei zu etablieren…
