Ja, so ein Mann bin ich!

It all begins with a crazy idea. Peter Schönfeld, a good husband whose excess of virtue already seems suspicious, is to be subjected to a fidelity test. Rosemarie, Peter's wife Regina's best friend, wants to dissuade the straw widower from the path of virtue with all kinds of tricks and erotic finesse. This leads to all kinds of confusion and mix-ups, to which Uncle Ewald, whose motto is "If you have worries, you need a liqueur", and his daughter Gisela, the "model", as well as Peter's neighbor, the amateur nude photographer Konrad Förster, intentionally and unintentionally contribute. So it will be interesting to see whether the "hero" of the play, Peter Schönfeld, can still say at the end: "Yes, that's the kind of man I am!".

Boswell and Johnson's Tour of the Western Isles

In the autumn of 1773, the English writer Samuel Johnson visits the Hebrides, or Western Isles, off the North-West coast of Scotland. With him are his friend, the Scotsman James Boswell, and his black servant Francis Barber. Staying with a series of hosts, including elderly Jacobite heroine Flora McDonald, Johnson and Boswell encounter traditional Scottish hospitality at first-hand, all the time arguing about politics (and in Boswell's case losing his head over every pretty woman he meets). Meanwhile, Francis and another black servant they encounter provide evidence of the new consciousness emerging in Britain's soon-to-be-independent American colonies.

Billy Kuckuck - Angezählt

Former boxing world champion Kai Burdenski is up to his ears in debt and can neither pay rent nor electricity for his boxing school. This is tragic not least because he trains teenagers from youth welfare, for whom his run-down hall has become a home. In particular, the young, talented asylum seeker Samy, who lost her entire family while fleeing Afghanistan, has taken Burdenski under his wing. It doesn't take long for bailiff Billy Kuckuck to understand that the former boxing professional is more than just a coach for Samy and the other young people, namely also a social worker and surrogate father. Therefore, Billy looks for ways and means to help the boxing legend, and turns to his daughter Jessica. But she only saw her father from his worst sides during his sports career and doesn't want to hear anything from him anymore. Burdenski's stubbornness and pride are not helpful here either.

C'est toi, c'est tout

"It's You, That's All" tells the story of a young woman who has locked herself away in the worst kind of solitude, that of the heart, and to whom fate, cruel and capricious, offers one last chance to escape. It is indeed her last chance, as Pauline is about to leave behind this period of her life when anything is still possible. After that, in many ways, it will be too late. Either Pauline suffers and becomes a victim, or her explosive personality pushes her to take action so that the man of her life is finally hers. She therefore decides to devise a plan that, she believes, will allow her to take revenge on Mathieu, the man who abandoned her a few years earlier. But the scheme will get out of hand, and the revenge she had imagined will turn into a whirlwind of misunderstandings and unexpected situations until the final twist, proving once again that the hunter becomes the hunted.

Eltern allein zu Haus: Die Schröders

The graduation ceremony of their son Max is no longer a big excitement for Sabine and Bernd Schröder - after all, they have already successfully brought two older sons through high school. Nonetheless, when the youngest offspring moves out, a new chapter in life begins: They finally have plenty of time for each other and common dreams. At least that's the beautiful theory. Sabine and Bernd have to face the truth: unnoticed by the hustle and bustle of the family, they have drifted apart. Where the offspring once provided common ground, there is suddenly a yawning emptiness. The fact that other couples feel the same way after their children have moved out gives little consolation. And while Bernd continues to bury his head in the sand and hopes for the success of the "sit out" principle, Sabine gets serious. She gives Bernd an ultimatum. Because one thing is clear to them: just continuing like this is out of the question.

Das Wunder von Merching

The people of Merchingen used to live from tourism, which has been at a standstill for years. With the incorporation, the idyllic provincial village is now threatened with the loss of its independence. In its hour of greatest need, a rumor spreads that the statue of the Virgin Mary in the local field chapel is shedding tears. This prompted skeptics, but an ecclesiastical investigation confirmed the authenticity of the supernatural apparition. The people of Merchingen rejoice, but the hardworking farmer's wife Kathi feels increasingly uncomfortable in her own skin, as she knows better than anyone else about the earthly origin of the divine sign.

Umoja - Wo nur Frauen das Sagen haben

380 kilometers from Nairobi, in the Samburu territory, lies a unique village: Umoja. Defended by a thorn fence, access is strictly forbidden to men. Created in 1991, it offers refuge to women repudiated by their husbands or victims of domestic violence. A nerve center for the community, its school is open to children from other villages, provided their families undertake not to subject them to genital mutilation or early marriage. As the new school year approaches, Jane, co-founder of the community, and Rose, teacher, meet little Samella's parents.
