Yet what would appear to be well-planned activity is in reality a policy of muddling along, chance, and trial and error. The Driven Ones is a chronicle of the refugee crisis which shows that the political actors are being driven along, crushed between self-imposed constraints and events that have spun out of control.
- Volkmar Stenzel is a branch manager as it stands: correct, responsible and always there for customers. But guys like the 57-year-old are just as little needed in the global financial world as branches in rural areas. When the Chinese company, which has just swallowed his Frankfurt-based bank, sends him the young careerist Tutz to process "his" branch, Stenzel feels worthless and "has fallen off the train". He protests against injustice and finally shows what his wife Barbara has been demanding of him for a long time: courage. With money from the dead bank account of a deceased person, he gives the urgently needed transition loan to the ailing daycare center in which his deceased daughter went. His white lie that it is a question of financing from a special secret fund soon attracts other interested parties. Intoxicated by his actions, Stenzel granted further "special loans" - also to the young street musician Jana, who reminded him of his daughter - and thus ensured a surprising upswing in the sleepy town. Unfortunately, there is a catch: If not all loans have been repaid by the time the branch closes on Christmas Eve, Stenzel comes to the devil's kitchen.
- Eine ebenso freche wie berührende Geschichte erzählt "Karla, Rosalie und das Loch in der Wand" mit Jutta Speidel und Paula Hartmann. Die beiden Hauptdarstellerinnen spielen zwei völlig unterschiedliche Frauen, die auf ungewöhnliche Weise ziemlich beste Freundinnen werden. Die Weltenbummlerin Rosalie und die junge Rollstuhlfahrerin Karla lernen miteinander, in eine neue Lebensphase einzutreten: Während die eine ihre Angst vor dem Ankommen überwinden muss, beginnt die andere an Aufbruch zu denken. Die Regie von Hanno Olderdissen fokussiert auf das exzellente Darstellerensemble, das die Charaktere mit Humor und Natürlichkeit verkörpert. In den Rollen von Rosalies Schwester und Karlas Vater sind Ruth Reinecke und Aurel Manthei zu sehen: Die Ingenieurin Rosalie führt ein Leben ohne Stillstand. Alt fühlt sie sich längst nicht, höchstens reif. Als Rosalie nach einem Solarprojekt in Afrika und einem Schwächeanfall nach Deutschland zurückkehrt, soll das nur eine Verschnaufpause sein - bis der nächste Auftrag sie in die Ferne ruft. Ihre spießige Schwester Margret zeigt sich von dem Überraschungsbesuch ebenso wenig begeistert wie von Rosalies "Handgepäck", einem riesigen Container, der auf ihre geliebten Rosen im Garten kracht. Die pensionierte Lehrerin durchschaut außerdem auf Anhieb, dass Rosalie bei ihr nicht ganz freiwillig auf unbestimmte Zeit unterschlüpft. Die Weitgereiste ist nämlich pleite. Was Margret ihr auch mit Genuss bei jeder Gelegenheit unter die Nase reibt. Da erscheint es Rosalie wie ein Wunder, dass sie in einem Loch in ihrer Zimmerwand auf Geldscheine stößt, die offenbar niemand vermisst. Auf der anderen Seite liegt das Zimmer der hochbegabten Abiturientin Karla, die mit ihrem Vater Harald in Margrets Haus zur Miete wohnt. Nach einem mehr als holprigen Kennenlernen freundet sich Rosalie mit der Teenagerin an, die im Rollstuhl sitzt, und setzt es sich in den Kopf, Karla aus ihrer behüteten Isolation zu holen - ob sie will oder nicht.
- September 2015 - Germany is considered the "Promised Land" for many who seek refuge. The influx of refugees is hard to stop. There was a loss of control, the culture of welcome experienced setbacks, the backing for Angela Merkel as chancellor and party leader also disappeared in the middle of society.
