Darkness Fell on Gotenhafen

The film depicts the first month of 1945 when the Russian Red Army broke into the eastern part of Germany and forced millions of civilians to flee in the coldest of winter. While the Russians invaded Ostpreussen hundred of thousands of civilians were evacuated by ships. Gotenhafen was the last open port and ships left the town almost by the minute, overloaded by refugees. One of the last ships to leave Gotenhafen was the 'Wilhelm Gustloff', a former 'Kraft durch Freude' pleasure cruiser designed for 1000 passengers. Until today it is unknown how many people were on board but it is said to be around 10.000. The ship sunk without a trace and only a handful of people survived this hellish nightmare.

Seduction has to be learned: One orders a harem to his hotel to prove that only she is the one. The other slips into boy's clothes to stand her ground. Handsome hotelier James Sander is idolized by pretty girls and earns a lot of money on the side. But the girls are a thorn in the side of his tax consultant Hilde. She has fallen in love with the attractive bachelor and has worked out a perfect plan to win James' heart. Mike's band has also arrived at his hotel. Sweet Bibi slips there into the role of her sick brother, trying to keep the secret of her womanhood and stand her ground as a drummer. Her game of hide-and-seek is in vain - because Mike is not the only one who has his eye on her. The turbulence in the hotel reaches its climax when hotel servant Pankraz smells a crime in James Bond style and stages the total confusion.

Ohnsorg Theater - Söbenthein Sack Kaffee

Fisherman Hannes Högermann and his nephew Klaus have "salvaged" seventeen sacks of coffee from a stranded ship at night and stowed them in his cellar. Hermann Achner, who works for a coffee broker, is called in to get rid of the loot at a reasonable price. Instead of Hermann Achner, however, the owner of the ship appears first, who is mistaken by Hannes Högermann for the accomplice and learns to his astonishment about the hidden loot. But because the owner of the "Söbenteihn Sack Kaffee" has his eye on the fisherman's daughter, he puts on a good face and lets the beach bailiff believe that the coffee has been properly recovered, so that Hannes Högermann is at least left with the salvage wages. But he has to pay a penalty...
