- Anna has been happily married to apple farmer Christian Ingstrup for many years. The couple runs a plantation together in the Altes Land near Hamburg. Business isn't doing particularly well at the moment, because arch-competitor Johann Quast, one of the richest farmers in the area, is gradually digging up the water for the Ingstrups. So far, Anna and Christian have always found a solution, because the two always pull together. That changes when Anna's past catches up with her one day: her illegitimate daughter Ines, who neither Christian nor her biological father know about, is standing in front of the door. At the age of 16, Anna was forced by her parents to put her child up for adoption immediately after birth. She always wanted to tell her husband about her daughter - but since their marriage remained childless, Anna lacked the courage. Nervous and anxious, she now tries to hide Ines' existence. But maternal curiosity soon prevails: Ines is a renowned cello teacher in Hamburg and the single mother of a 17-year-old daughter, Cosima, called Jo. When Christian finally discovers Anna's secret, his world collapses. He separates from Anna and sells the farm to Johann Quast. Anna has only one chance left to save her marriage and the farm. Together with her daughter Ines and granddaughter Jo, she comes up with a plan.
- "Derby -- The Producer's Cut" is the essential slice-in-time cinema-verite film about the original American family action sport Roller Derby and its stars Charlie O'Connell and Ann Calvello as they dazzle fans across the country with their nonpareil skating and derring-do. The documentary Produced by William Richert, Photographed and directed by Robert Kaylor, follows a common man anti-hero, a young Dayton Ohio factory worker named Mike Snell who dreams about quitting his factory tire job and joining the Roller Derby to save his life and his family. Hailed by the NYTIMES and others as one of the 10 Best Films of the Year, lauded 4 Stars by Roger Ebert, the movie remains the best ever about the sport in the 1970's even as roller Derby Impresario and founder Jerry Seltzer leads the packs of tens of thousands of new skaters rolling world wide. "Amazing," says the CEO Mr. Seltzer. 'ONE OF THE YEARS TEN BEST' Proclaimed the NY Times. "FOUR STARS!" - Roger Ebert -- "DERBY...perhaps tells more about the state of the country today than all the 'Easy Riders' 'Medium Cools' and 'Joes' put together...the film is a kind of guided tour of Middle America -- it doesn't tell whee it's at, it shows where it's at, geographically and spiritually...a riveting piece of cinema-verite America." Oakland Tribune.
