- Als sich Christiane F. zu David Bowies Song "Heroes" einen weiteren Schuss Heroin setzt, schauen ihr 1981 allein in Deutschland fünf Millionen Menschen zu. Nie zuvor wurde Drogensucht und ihre Folgen filmisch so radikal umgesetzt. Wie konnte die Geschichte von einem minderjährigen Mädchen, das sein Leben an Drogen und Sex verliert, ein Meilenstein in Literatur und Kino werden? Als der Spielfilm "Christiane F. - Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo" 1981 seine Premiere in den deutschen Kinos feiert, kommen viele Menschen erschüttert aus der Vorführung. Nie zuvor wurden Drogensucht, Entzug und Prostitution so radikal dargestellt. Vor allem die Darstellerin Natja Brunckhorst und der Darsteller Thomas Haustein beeindrucken das Publikum nachhaltig. Es sind die 80er Jahre in West-Berlin; eine faszinierende Jugendkultur entwickelt sich in der Stadt, in der es weder eine Sperrstunde noch Grenzen zu geben scheint - obwohl sie eine meterhohe Mauer umgibt. Am Bahnhof Zoo - dem Zentrum West-Berlins - herrscht das Elend vor. Hier verbringen Drogensüchtige ihren Alltag, viele davon noch Kinder. Christiane F. ist eines davon. Sie erzählt zwei Journalisten ihre Geschichte. Schonungslos und ungeschönt. Das Buch wird ein Bestseller und kurz darauf wird daraus der erfolgreichste Film der 80er Jahre entstehen. Dem Spielfilm gelingt mit seiner radikalen Bildsprache und modernen Dramaturgie eine Rezeption bis ins Heute. Die Dokumentation geht der Frage nach, wie die Geschichte von einem Mädchen, das sein Leben an Drogen und Sex verliert, ein Meilenstein in Literatur und Kino werden konnte, und zeichnet den damaligen Zeitgeist nach. Nie zuvor veröffentliche Casting-Aufnahmen und Stimmen von einem Großteil der damaligen Crew wie dem Regisseur Uli Edel, dem Drehbuchautor Herman Weigel, dem Produzenten Hans Weth und dem Darsteller Thomas Haustein erzählen von den schwierigen Bedingungen bei den Dreharbeiten, von der Mitwirkung David Bowies und dem Umgang mit dem Erfolg.
- In 1982, "The Boat", a West German war film directed by Wolfgang Petersen, gained worldwide notoriety, even reaching the Oscars, where it was nominated in six categories. Nothing predestined this film to such a triumph. Its biases and the events of the shooting promised it a fate of cursed film. Inspired by a true story - the descent into hell of a German submarine and its crew during the Second World War -, the script was a risky bet from the outset: how would the public react to a claustrophobic closed-door film lasting more than three hours and featuring the wrong side?
- Das hochmoderne Containerterminal von Bremerhaven ist Drehkreuz von weltweitem Handel, aber auch von international organisierter Drogenkriminalität. Die Einsätze verlangen den Zöllnerinnen und Zöllnern alles ab, sind gefährlich und kompliziert. Riesige und unübersichtliche Warenströme machen es ihnen schwer, die organisierte Kriminalität zu stoppen und zu oft haben sie das Nachsehen. Eine neu gegründete Ermittlungsgruppe soll das ändern: Katta Strüwer, die toughe und umsichtige Kontrollexpertin, der erfahrene Zollfahnder Gero von Bernbeck und der gewiefte IT-Forensiker Sven-Erik Dröse sind bereits ein hoch spezialisiertes Team, das dem internationalen Drogenhandel im Sumpf des globalen Warenverkehrs den Kampf ansagt. Neu in die Gruppe kommt die Expertin der Finanzkontrolle Schwarzarbeit Lisa Cunningham. Ihre eigensinnigen und manchmal auch leichtsinnigen Ermittlungen lassen nicht nur Gero von Bernbeck aus der Haut fahren. Unterschätzt die "Neue" die lebensgefährlichen Situationen im Betrieb des Containerterminals? Können Katta Strüwer, Gero von Bernbeck, Sven-Erik Dröse und Lisa Cunningham sich gegenseitig Rückendeckung geben? Nur durch viele kleine wie große Unterstützer wird der internationale Kokain- Schmuggel überhaupt möglich. Der illegal in Deutschland lebende Dmitri tut alles, um aus seiner Notlage herauszukommen, und gerät in die Verführungen des schnellen Geldes. Der alteingesessene Spediteur Sören Bargbrecht wird erpressbar, nachdem er sich einmal mit den Drogenhändlern eingelassen hat. Beide verstricken sich weiter in das tödliche Netz der kriminellen Banden. Auch mit unkonventionellen Ermittlungen setzt das Zoll-Team alles daran, Dmitri und die Familie des Spediteurs zu retten, den Drogenhändlern auf die Spur zu kommen und eine Gewaltspirale zu verhindern. So haben die Zuschauenden den Norden noch nicht gesehen: Regisseur Nicolai Rohde, selbst im Norden aufgewachsen, fängt mit seinem Team diese ganz besondere Stimmung rund um den internationalen Seehandel ein. Kameramann Hannes Hubach spiegelt mit seinen Bildern der ineinandergreifenden Systeme eines rund um die Uhr pulsierenden Container-Terminals, der Nordseeküste und riesiger Container-Schiffe, die Verletzlichkeit der Menschen. Im Buch von Nils-Morten Osburg geraten die Figuren zwischen die eigene Dynamik des Hafens, der Gezeiten der Nordsee und eskalierender Gewalt.

Quick action is required because it is February 29th and the Queen has to set the annual clock for March at exactly 6 p.m. If she doesn't make it, it will stay February forever - dark, icy and unfriendly. That would be a catastrophe for the whole kingdom, for the people, the nature and also the months. The March woman finds the recipe for a drink in the "Book of Eternity" that makes the queen insensitive to the forces of the Frosty Prince. It is a test every season.

So the March woman, June and September woman make their way to the queen and to February, who lives with the queen in the castle during his month. What they don't know: The Frosty Prince has allied himself with February, who has always felt disadvantaged and unloved, and promised him power and fame if he smuggled him into the castle. And so the Frosty Prince in the disguise of the merciful monk Martin comes near Queen Klara and weakens her with his magical powers from day to day. The Frosty Prince is not thrilled when the months with the recipe show up. But he quickly chooses the chef Valentin for the responsible job of procuring the ingredients. Because he is secretly sure: Valentin will fail. The September woman, however, insists that the "chicken girl" accompany Luise Valentin. Together, the unlikely couple go on a dangerous search for the ingredients for the healing potion. With the help of the March woman, June and September woman, Valentin and Luise actually find the first three ingredients: violets, strawberries and an apple. But will February contribute the fourth component, the last flake flight, and thus be able to save Queen Clare and the empire?

- In front of the camera, Rita Hayworth was the prototype of the ideal of American beauty, twirling alongside Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly. In her private life, shy and plagued by an inferiority complex, the actress multiplied the unhappy marriages. At 19, she married a businessman to escape an incestuous father. In 1943, she married the brilliant Orson Welles, who gave her a daughter and a misunderstood role in "The Lady of Shanghai". Prince Ali Khan and the singer Dick Haymes followed.

- Housewife Hannah Held, nee Liebetanz, has been fidelity to her dentist Martin for 27 years, in good times and bad. But when she happens to find out that he is cheating on her with his young practice assistant Annika, the oven is out for her: "I'm getting a divorce!" Explains Hannah angrily. With this determined exclamation, however, she causes a scandal at the annual foundation festival of her great-aunt Kthe. Shortly before, the wealthy old lady had publicly handed over the imposing family villa to Hannah, including the management of the multi-million dollar love dance foundation. Now Hannah is in a quandary, because she knows only too well that the tradition-conscious great-aunt values stable marriages above all else: she will never entrust the expensive family inheritance to a divorcee. Torn between the just outrage about her husband's infidelity and the responsibility to the family, Hannah plays down her appearance at the party as a skipping act and moves into the villa with her future ex-husband. The separation of table and bed is, however, precisely regulated by contract - an invisible wall divides the venerable property into two halves and on the outside the two mimick the happily married couple. They succeed so well that even their two adult children Lola and Paul can no longer see through it. And soon Hannah and Martin themselves no longer know where love ends and lies begin. Little did they suspect that the clever and forward-looking heir-aunt has long since caught up with them.

- In 1967, fate on a north German dike miraculously brought the Black Forest cuckoo clock maker Gottlieb Dobisch together with his chosen one Leonore. The two married, started a family and opened the first cuckoo clock factory in the north, which achieved considerable success thanks to the company's motto "punctuality, precision, perfection". A good 40 years later, Gottlieb has long since passed away, but his family - Leonore in particular - continues to run the business in his sense. Gottlieb's long-cherished wish to join the Association of Black Forest Cuckoo Clock Manufacturers has so far remained unfulfilled. Now a new opportunity is approaching: A delegation from southern Germany has announced that it will examine the matter again. In order to make the best impression, Leonore instructs her reliable daughter-in-law Katrin to give the welcome speech. However, Katrin, married to Anton, the younger of the two Dobisch sons, overcame the self-doubt and fear of failure that have long drained her in view of this task. The family doctor friend Dr. Ingo Leuwerik, to whom the Dobisch family - and especially Leonore - are very dear, suggests that she attend a rhetoric course secretly in Hamburg. Katrin agrees and ends up with the unstable language trainer Hubertus Hobbs, who drowns his private problems in alcohol every evening. A chain of unfortunate circumstances leads to the fact that she commits a spontaneous, ill-considered affair with Hobbs, which is not without consequences. Because sister-in-law Greta, who looks at Katrin's prominent position in the family hierarchy with envy and jealousy, has tasked her husband, Anton's older brother Lothar, with spying on her competitor. When Katrin's misstep is finally exposed, everything is at stake: family honor, marital happiness and the future of the cuckoo clock factory.
