A film inspired by one of Germany's most visited blogs. The author of the site www.notesofberlin.com, Joab Nist, posts pictures of real announcements, notes, information that people leave in the streets of Berlin. The film follows 15 genuine notes and protagonists. The result is 15 funny, tragic, fascinating episodes about people and the city they live in. Twenty-four hours from the life of the city. The story begins with a note attached to a street lamp, with the message “For one minute please just stand here in silence, look at the sky and contemplate how amazing life is”. Is it possible that only a very drunk young man notices the text and looks upwards? An extraordinary mood picture of present-day Berlin and a declaration of love for the city.

Томас, молодой кондитер из Германии, отправляется в Иерусалим, чтобы встретиться с женой и сыном своего погибшего любовника.

Ferdi thinks he's ugly – but likes the fact Jona is interested in him. Maybe because she's blind. What Ferdi doesn't suspect: She's just pretending to be blind to be able to live cheaply in subsidized housing. How long can she maintain her charade? Can love, which is supposed to make you blind, even work out that way? Director Tom Lass takes a closer look, shooting with blind actors and old Berlin buddies, acting the lead himself – paying tribute to a way of life beyond our way of seeing the world.

Германия, начало 1939 года, канун Второй мировой войны. Смерть готовится начать свою жатву. Девятилетняя Лизель переезжает в Мюнхен к своим приемным родителям и с их помощью учится читать. С каждым днем чтение становится ее жизненной потребностью, и Лизель начинает воровать книги — единственную отраду ее жизни. Все, что она узнает из них, помогает ей понять события, происходящие вокруг нее — гонение на евреев, антифашистское движение, унижения и голод. Все это, в конце концов, сложится в ее собственную историю, историю ее жизни.

In the early 60s, Bernward Vesper and fellow university student Gudrun Ensslin begin a passionate love in the stifling atmosphere of provincial West Germany. Dedicated to the power of the written word, Bernward and Gudrun found a publishing house whose first publication is, paradoxically to many, a controversial past work of Bernward's ostracized father, an infamous Nazi author. Bernward defends his father's writing ability, even if he is haunted by his father's suspicious past.
