Sixth-graders have many things on their minds. But they are confronted with an important decision: do they continue their education in secondary school A, B, or C, or do they go to grammar school after all? And what even are those things? How do children deal with the hopes and fears associated with this step?

The movie recalls children who suffered mental and physical harm both during the last century, particularly in religious orphanages, and during the time of early modernperiod witch-hunts. It shows that the mindsets and behavioural patterns of both time periods are more alike than one might think.

Wolves divide and fascinate us. 150 years after they were driven to extinction in Central Europe, they are returning slowly but inexorably. Are they dangerous to humans? Is it possible to coexist? Using Switzerland as a point of departure, where wolves have returned in the very recent past, this documentary sheds light on the wolf situation in Austria, eastern Germany, Poland, Bulgaria, and even Minnesota, where freely roaming packs of wolves are more common sight.

Snow, sweat, testosterone and the sound of chainsaws. Every four years, over a period of three months in winter, wood is being cut in a steep mountain, high above Lake Ägeri, and prepared for log rafting. Neither economic change nor technology has been able to replace this traditional and sustainable craft in Switzerland.

Imagine waking up tomorrow and all music has disappeared. Just like that. What will remain when it is all gone: CDs, iPods, instruments?

The filmmaker travels to the mysterious land of the “poor souls.” He visits eyewitnesses in rural areas of Central Switzerland. They offer their account of mystifying experiences in connection with the afterlife, of evil deeds by people who passed away long ago in need of atonement. The film investigates the hidden signs of mountain magic and reminds us of our own myths, ghosts and primal images. It also looks for paths to self-awareness that could be revealed to us within and under layers of centuries-old Catholic cultural sediment.

В безднах космоса движется звездолет. Два члена команды, пробудившиеся от гиперсна, оказываются в сложной ситуации: оборудование не работает, вспомнить они ничего не могут. Какова была их миссия? Сколько времени прошло? Где они? Кто они? На все эти вопросы у них нет ответов. К тому же, на корабле обнаруживаются чужие — злобные воины, которые крушат все на своем пути.

Безжалостная, за гранью фола пародия на полицейские триллеры и фильмы ужасов, вызывающая порой просто истерический смех. В политкорректной Америке середины 90-х вряд ли смогли бы так посмеяться над собой. Много тупого немецкого юмора. Вместе с тем, фильм выдержан в хорошем кичевом ключе от начала до конца. Фильм снят по комиксам Ральфа Кенинга. В отеле, где снимают номера для сексуальных утех, появляется презерватив-убийца, откусывающий причинное место у своих "пользователей". Это дело расследует полицейский-гей Луиджи Макерони. Поначалу ему никто не верит, но когда зубастый монстр лишает мужского достоинства кандидата в президенты, Луиджи дают зеленый свет и он начинает беспощадную, безжалостную охоту. В конце концов храбрый полицейский ловит прародителя - огромный презерватив-убийцу на своего огромного "живца"...
