Stunden der Angst

Glenn Gridffin, his brother Hank and Samuel Robish have escaped from prison. They choose Dan Hilliard's house, of all places, as a safe house. The reason: nobody would think of looking for the three gangsters in such a respectable house where middle-class people live. However, the entire family - father Dan, wife Ellinor, daughter Cindy and son Ralphie - are terrified. They are trapped in their own home. Meanwhile, the gangsters give the order for everything to go back to normal. Dan goes to the office, daughter Cindy goes to the rendezvous. Of course, they are not allowed to say anything, otherwise another family member will no longer be alive. The atmosphere in the Hilliard house is slowly but surely coming to a head...

Jüm-Jüm

A montage experiment in which Dore O., her body painted in different colours, swings back and forth in front of a movie screen, on which is painted a phallus (slightly abstract and fairly large). The perspective is such that the girl appears to be swinging into and out of the phallus. It is one who is content to see through the specific event. The work exhausts itself in a trivial aspect, the literary. This is most comfortable for the critic: the literary content of a work is easiest to reproduce in a literary form of criticism.

Fabrik der Offiziere

An army war school during the WWII: first Lieutenant Krafft has a strong sense of justice.

However, Krafft is entrusted with an investigation by his general - a supervising officer has been blown to pieces by an explosive charge during an engineer exercise. Although the chief field judge rules the man's death an accident, Krafft reconstructs the events and proves that it was a case of murder. Ensign Hochbauer, who was in the party's favor, is said to have deliberately shortened the fuse during the explosive exercise, as a result of which the supervising officer was unable to get to safety in time.

Der Kinder wegen - Flucht ins Vaterland

Documentary film describes the motives of 3 West German families that led them to flee the Federal Republic of Germany or to move to the German Democratic Republic. To offer their children a secure future - that is the main motive for many West German parents to flee. The social security of citizens in the GDR and the willingness to welcome citizens from the Federal Republic are emphasized. The film is enlivened in its own way by the original soundtracks of the people interviewed, as well as the Cold War-style commentary. The final sentence is typical: "Since 1949 there has been a state of working people on German soil, here the lessons of the past have been learned, here is the peaceful, better Germany, the Germany that belongs to the children, to whom the future belongs".
