- Kaiserslautern 1994: Christian grows up in poverty, with a violent, drinking, hard-working father. When Christian's mother dies, his aunt Juli takes him and his siblings to live with her, against his father's wishes. Juli gets Christian to go to high school, but even there he has to fight prejudices. Football - especially 1. FC Kaiserslautern - and the music of Freddy Mercury are his passion. Christian gets caught between Juli, who only wants the best for him, and his father, who he can't break away from. The film tells what it means to grow up in poverty and what it feels like to be excluded just because you come from precarious circumstances. The film tells the story of people in social difficulties and what is wrong in society, unsparingly, but also with a lot of warmth and hope. An intense and hard, but at the same time warm-hearted and hopeful, milieu study.
- The king decides that since his daughter Snow White, whose mother died in childbirth, is old enough to marry an already-chosen prince, it's time now for him to remarry, but his evil bride stops at nothing to eliminate her stepdaughter as a 'beauty rival' and cut every other tie with the late queen. She mounts he throne after the softy king dies at the news that Snow White was devoured by a wild beast. In fact, she ordered the royal huntsman to bring her heart as proof of death, but instead he shot a deer and left the princess in the forest, where she found the messy home of the seven miner dwarfs and became their housekeeper. Informed by her magic mirror that princess lives beyond the mountain, she incarcerates the huntsman and repeatedly passes through in disguise to offer magical death sentences, which are accepted naively, but each time she's saved by the dwarfs, the last time mostly the prince who came looking for his bride, having been incognito at court as the huntsman's inconspicuous assistant.

- This is a funny and woeful story, resembling an old Jewish anecdote, aiming to wrap a comical framework around the dark side of life. At the time, the poorest neighborhood of Plovdiv (an ancient town in Bulgaria) represented a unique European recess, a realm of perfect ethnic harmony among Bulgarians, Armenians, Turks, Jews, Gypsies and Greeks. A priest, a rabbi and a hodjah and an Antichrist nicknamed the Boozer are smitten with the same full-bosomed Turkish woman. Along with their rivalry, squabbles and good fellowship a Jewish boy and an Armenian girl fall in love for the first time. The political winds of the era will blow away the idyll separating the 12-year-old lovers. After many years, the Jew and the Armenian woman meet again in a different world.

- Hanne and Barbara have been best friends since they were young. Their lives have developed very differently: While the wealthy mail order owner Hanne lives in a large villa in Erfurt, Barbara lives quite modestly on her small widow's pension. The two spontaneously decide to revive their youth in Bad Elster, a tranquil health resort: at the tender age of 17, the friends had their first adventures with the opposite sex there, and now they want to know again. The spa management is not at all enthusiastic about the lust for life of the two ladies, especially the strict head nurse Inge. On the other hand, the love-hungry friends find much more understanding with the successful entrepreneur Edzard and the charming globetrotter Georg. In order to land optimally with the gentlemen, Hanne and Barbara simply swap roles: The shy widow mimes the rich lady life so as not to give the wealthy Edzard the impression that she is only interested in him because of his money. The fun-loving Hanne, on the other hand, slips into the role of the poor widow, because the bon vivant Georg has had bad experiences with rich women. But when Hannes' pampered son Simon, whose financial demands are not met by her as desired, out of disappointment informs the gentlemen in love about the true identities of Hanne and Barbara, this seems to be the end of the romantic adventure for Hanne and Barbara.

An unexpected opportunity arose when the teenage girl, surprisingly, wanted to accompany him to Italy for a lovingly repaired piano.

In addition, there is lovesickness, which Mia wants to cure with distraction. Despite the adverse conditions, Jan decides to turn the delivery into a short break with an open ending. Jan prefers to suppress the fact that his girlfriend Stef, who wants to nail him down with plans for the future, and the bailiff are waiting for him at home, in the tried and tested manner. Because of his unreliability, a worried Serafina soon turns up at the holiday hotel, naturally with Einar in tow to check on Mia. Now Jan sees the chance not only to fight for his daughter, but also for his ex-wife.
