Daniel, Mark, Rico, Pitbull and Paul. A group of East German friends grow
up in the early 90s. The first years of reunified Germany – when everything was colliding, when everything seemed possible. From boyhood to
rough-and-tumble teenagers, the Leipzig suburbs were their whole world.
Daniel was in love, Rico was the greatest boxer. And Starlet was the prettiest
girl they had ever known. They party, they riot, they run a techno club, they
run from neo-Nazis, their parents and the future. They are coming of age in
a time of anarchy.

Robert Beck discovers his outstanding musical talent: he plays the guitar
and is a gifted singer. Beck is willing to manage and promote Rauli. But he
follows his own hidden agenda: once a promising young musician himself,
he is trying to make his comeback into music business. But also Rauli has
his little secrets.
There is the young waitress Lena, trying to find a balance between her
tender feelings for Beck and making her own living. Rauli‘s mysterious
family background. Anna Lind - the incarnation of the erotic teenage queen
for every teacher and pupil. And Beck‘s only friend Charlie - the gigantic

All of them are on a journey to their inner selves – and they all will arrive –
but not always as expected.

The story of Mike Tyson. Not the boxer, a different one. It is not easy being a
teenager and Mike, sixteen-years-old, is having the very worst of times. He
lives with his mother Cynthia, a notorious nagger, in Faintville, a town based
around the timber industry, set in its days and ways, deep in the Canadian
forests. He has no father, no friends, not even a favorite food. Basically, his
sole wish is to vanish from the face of the earth.
One day, Mike decides to put an end to the cynical joke that fate has played
on him, or life as it is called in other words: he places his own obituary and
shoots himself! To his greatest disappointment he wakes up the next day
not in heaven but at the local hospital. And suddenly Mike’s fate takes a very
8 •••
different turn when, during a routine examination, the doctors discover a
plum-sized tumor in his head. Mike can scarcely believe his luck and keeps
the illness to himself so as to avoid undergoing the operation that would
save him. Staring death directly in the eyes, however, changes Mike’s view
of life. For example, it causes him to re-evaluate his opinion of the crazy and
enchanting Miranda, the first human being who appears to understand him.
And slowly but surely, Mike develops a completely new wish.
F LO R I A N C O S S E N was born in Tel Aviv in 1979 and spent his childhood in

that time he made several short films. He was a visiting student at the
Universidad del Cine in Buenos Aires in 2006 and received a scholarship
to attend a Hollywood Perspective workshop at UCLA (2005). COCONUT
HERO is his second feature film after his multi-award winning THE DAY I
WAS NOT BORN (DAS LIED IN MIR) in 2010.

Hedi, Uli and their son, Finn, have life sorted out. They take each day as it
comes, all the while dreaming of the future. Then, suddenly: Hedi gets stuck.
The lift she’s traveling in breaks down – and then her head does, too. All of
a sudden, nothing is the same. Hedi and Uli try to hold on to each other, but
their world spins out of control. In a last-ditch attempt to rescue their love,
they take a trip to Norway. The aim: to be happy again – for 24 hours, at least.
With a light touch and tender humor, HEDI SCHNEIDER IS STUCK shows
that, for the 30-something generation, love is what it has always been: a
very fragile thing. After HOTEL VERY WELCOME, director Sonja Heiss once
again demonstrates her exceptional skill in treading the thin line between
tragedy and comedy. With great affection for her characters, she explores
what happens when “normal life” suddenly comes to an end.
S O N JA H E I S S was born in 1976 in Munich and studied at the University
of Film & Television Munich. Since 1997, she has been working as a casting
director for commercials and since 2002 has been directing commercials
herself. Her films include: FAST & CLEAN (short, 1999), KARMA COWBOY
(short, 2001), CHRISTINA WITHOUT (short, 2004), HOTEL VERY WELCOME
(2007), and HEDI SCHNEIDER IS STUCK (2015).

She wants to see action. Historic deeds. And so Sven prepares his people

Sebastian’s love?
The acclaimed Afro-German author Sebastian Kleinis on a reading tour in
the East German backwater and is given a fitting welcome by local neoNazis: a blow to the head. Sebastian promptly loses his memory and parrots
everything people tell him. Nina, Sebastian‘s pregnant girlfriend in Berlin,

Sandra, whom he abandoned when the family fell apart. Now a mother
herself, Sandra is still deeply hurt and afraid of allowing her dying father to
be a part of her life again.

It’s a hot, humid and sweaty summer. Like every year, this season seems
likely to become one endless, sexy and gorgeous party under the open sky.
Tina and her friends are living the dream of a whole generation of decadent
Berlin-party-kids. But after one excessive night she’s haunted by a mysterious
ugly creature which visits her in her nightmares.
The only person she talks to about her fears is her psychologist. He advises her to confront her fears and to reach out to the creature. At first Tina
refuses, but after she hears about her parents plans to put her in a mental
hospital she overcomes her panic and starts talking to creature.
Slowly she realizes that the creature is more of an incarnation of her fears
and that the Nachtmahr has her exact same feelings. Out of fear of being
called a freak, she starts hiding the creature in her room. She feeds it,
with time she even gets close to it. It is almost like a relationship to a wild
stray animal. It almost seems as if Tina has the courage for the first time
in her life to be herself. But then her parents and her friends get to see the
creature themselves…

A fairytale land in the early Middle Ages has a dragon issue: the Duke announces a tournament to find the best knight who will fight against it. In
exchange, the lucky winner will have a wish granted. Meanwhile, 10-yearold Trenk – peasant and property of evil Sir Wertolt – saves his pet piglet

Everyone loves Zeki Müller at the Goethe Comprehensive School, but
he’s beginning to lose enthusiasm for his accidental vocation: waking up
early, delinquent students and endless paperwork. And now, overly-ambitious Principal Gerster has set her sights on stealing the Thailand school
partnership away from the elite Schiller School. Her dream: to boost the
image of her derelict school in order to become the model for the Ministry
of Education’s new public campaign. Müller and Schnabelstedt are condemned to accompany the class on a trip to a remote Thai village.
Chantal, Zeynep, Danger & Co. are in prime form during their first trip
abroad, rampantly displaying their full spectrum of social incompetence
and cultural ignorance. And if that wasn’t enough already for Zeki, to have
to deal with the constant teachers vs. students war, he also has to lead
the charge against the snobby Schiller School and their pompous überTeacher, Hauke Wölki - whose sole goal is to end Müller’s career!

12-year-old Luis is often lonely. He doesn’t have any friends and his father,
UFO-logist Arnold Sunday, doesn’t have any time for him. He‘s obsessed
with proving the existence of intelligent life in space, spends all night at his
telescope and all day sleeping. The principal thinks Luis is neglected and

Then, three goofy aliens crash on Luis‘s doorstep: Mog, Nag and Wabo are
in search of a massage mat they saw on earth‘s home shopping TV, the

his dad, who is convinced aliens are dangerous and should be shockfrosted

even tempted to leave his home planet and go explore the galaxy with his

Germany, 1957. Attorney general Fritz Bauer receives crucial evidence on
the whereabouts of SS-Obersturmbannführer Adolf Eichmann. The lieutenant colonel, responsible for the mass deportation of the Jews, is allegedly hiding in Buenos Aires. Bauer, himself Jewish, tries to take crimes
from the Third Reich to court ever since he returned from Danish exile. So
far without success, due of the fierce German determination to repress its
sinister past. Because of his distrust in the German justice system, Fritz
Bauer contacts the Israeli secret service Mossad, and, by doing so, commits treason. Bauer is not bending on revenge for the holocaust – he is
concerned with the German future.
