Nina and Paul's marriage is over. They are just waiting for an opportunity to teach their son Tim. During a chance encounter, Nina flirts with Viktor, her son's hockey coach, and goes home alone with him. A decision with serious consequences. Nina is almost raped by him, defends herself and kills Viktor in the process. Paul has followed the two and witnesses the accident, which makes a self-defense situation implausible. Agitated, the two drive home without notifying the police.

An exploration of the reality behind the dream of a better life; what is lost and what is gained in the pursuit of personal wealth and perceived happiness.

Yasmin has lived an almost normal life as a German ever since she was three years old. The family fled from Somalia during the civil war and now lives scattered around the globe. When Yasmin's grandmother no longer wants to stay in her Ethiopian exile, a transnational family drama evolves, circling around the essential question: Where is Granny to live? And suddenly, the family confronts their own aspirations: Have they actually arrived where they want to be?

The door has been closed for many weeks. A teenager has locked himself in - shutting out a helpless father, mother and sister. In Japan, youths like him have already been given a name: Hikikomori (the secluded). The phenomenon is also beginning to spread throughout the Western world. This is all the family has been able to find out. All they can do is stand in front of the locked door and ask, beg, implore, throw tantrums, despair, accuse, ignore and hope. All the while, the door increasingly becomes a mirror of their own lives.

Родители девочки-подростка Сары в разводе, впрочем, весьма мирном. На этой неделе задача отца, музыкального продюсера, доставить дочь в летний лагерь.

Найдет он ее на плотине у водохранилища, дрожащую от ужаса и смятения: Сара только что столкнула свою подругу в омут...
