Along with a few other members of the foreign community including doctors and missionaries who remained in the city, he created a safety zone in which a quarter of a million civilians survived what was later to go down in history as the "Nanking Massacre".

At her parents’ urging, EFFI BRIEST, a free-spirited 17-year-old girl, marries BARON VON INNSTETTEN, nearly 20 years her senior – and a former admirer of EFFI’S MOTHER. The arranged marriage spells the beginning of a monotonous existence for Effi far away from her hometown: Innstetten is entirely pre-occupied with his political career and the sleepy artist town of Kessin on the Baltic Sea shore offers little excitement. That is until MAJOR CRAMPAS, arrives – one of Innstetten’s military comrades and a charming womanizer. Effi starts a passionate affair with him and finally discovers what love is. But it comes at a steep price: The affair proves fatal for Crampas. Effi, on the other hand – unlike in Fontane’s novel – deals with the consequences of her decisions and embarks on a new chapter in her life...

SyNOpSiS Broadway star, songstress, screen diva, international icon and bestselling author – Hildegard Knef was many things. But more than anything else, she was a fighter who often fell, but never stayed down. Berlin, 1943. The collapse of Nazi Germany looms, but young HILDE marches through the rubble of Berlin with only one thought in her head: she wants to become a star. With luck, looks, the right men and overwhelming self-confidence, she makes her way in the film world, both during and after the war, swapping her Nazi lover for a young Jewish husband. Hollywood beckons, but Hilde is no Marlene. Underemployed and frustrated she longs for Germany. The divided country welcomes her back but a short nude scene in "The Sinner" (1950) provokes a national scandal, making her an outcast in her own country. Internationally, she becomes what she's always wanted to be: a star, on the big screen, on Broadway, in America and Europe. The years go by in a whirl of successes and failures, of ups and downs. Yet even as her film career wanes she picks herself up and embarks on a new journey...

SyNOpSiS Eager to escape the damp and suffocating atmosphere of post-war Holland, the three young Dutchwomen ADA, ESTHER and MARJORIE look forward to a better life in New Zealand. They meet on the immigration flight – the "Bride Flight" – to their new country, where they are to join fiancés and marry. During the flight, the three women form a bond of friendship among themselves, and with FRANK, an attractive young man who wants to set up a winery. On their arrival, all four part ways to start a new life. Yet their paths continue to cross... Ada will one day leave her children and her puritan husband for Frank, an escape to freedom that is ultimately doomed... And the single career woman Esther will give her unwanted child to Marjorie and her husband after Marjorie suffers a miscarriage and will probably never bear a child again. As the boy grows up, Marjorie fears that Esther might break the pact of silence they made. An outing that reunites all four friends and the boy turns into a near tragedy that destroys one friendship, shatters a loving relationship, and nearly costs the boy's life... Only 50 years later do they all come together again, perhaps closer now than ever before...

SyNOpSiS INGA grows up in a small village in Eastern Germany. According to her grandparents, her mother ANNE perished by drowning in the Baltic. One day ROBERT, a pro-fessor for literature, turns up in Malchow where Inga now lives, and claims that he met Anne a few years previously in Constance. Inga's world comes crashing down when she realizes that Robert is right. Apparently, the whole village knew about Anne's flight to the West. But what did really happen at that time? Inga meets only with silence, denial, and a sense of guilt. Why did her mother leave her behind in the GDR? Inga begs Robert to help her in her search for Anne.While they are hunting for clues all over Germany, it becomes more and more obvious, that Robert's sudden appearance in Inga's life was no coincidence.

Two planes collide in mid-air, resulting in the tragic deaths of 83 people… One year later, Flight Controller MARKUS still wrestles with feelings of guilt and depression over his failure to prevent it. His wife FRANZISKA, no longer able to bear his emotional burden, seeks comfort in a selfish affair… The two are completely unaware that yet another tragedy awaits them at the hands of ERIK, a physicist broken by the loss of his beloved wife and daughter in the plane crash and consumed by a twisted need for revenge. His single-minded vengeance is thrown into question when the young and bubbly DANIELA enters his life. HARALD was one of the first cops on the scene of the terrible air crash. Despite suffering panic attacks brought on by the brutal memories of that horrible day, he is determined to catch Erik. As they wrestle with their own personal demons, these five are unaware that their fates are swiftly rushing toward a common and shocking destiny.

There is a knock at the door; their neighbor MIMI (Anna Netrebko) whose candle has gone out, asks for fire. Rodolfo is fascinated by her. It is love at first sight! Overwhelmed by their emotions, neither of them suspects that Mimi's fatal illness will soon be separating them again...

They set off to search for the moon together with the other animals. Suddenly they see a bright light coming from inside Moonbeam Bear's house. They can barely believe their eyes. Moonbeam Bear and Moon sit peacefully at the table playing a game of checkers. The animals don't know what to do. Moon has to get back up in the sky right away – but how can they get him back up there? And then, to make matters worse, now Moon has nodded off and he's sound asleep ...

Not even a thunderclap can wake him up! They can't put Moon back up in the sky when he's sleeping, so the animals scamper off to find Sun Bird. After all, his cheery chirping wakes up all of them very morning – and it will certainly wake up Moon. But where is their little friend? Sun Bird has disappeared.

Moonbeam Bear, Rabbit, and Lady Bug are determined to find Sun Bird, and they bravely set out to search for him …

SyNOpSiS Homeless street kids are sleeping in abandoned sewers in Bucharest, emerging every day to ply their trade. Some prostitute themselves to earn money and use drugs to dull the boredom, remaining deeply mistrustful of outsiders. Attaching himself to an NGO but working as an independent operator, MILOUD decides to gain their trust through unconventional means. Trained as a clown, he first gets their attention through the simple device of magic. When this opens the door, he challenges the children to participate in increasingly intricate games, and then attempts to socialize them. He takes the boys to the local baths, shows them how to buy – instead of steal – food, and tries to instill a sense of respect and discipline in their lives. Gradually, he makes inroads and apparent progress.

The drama accelerates when one of the young girls discovers she is pregnant, and does not want to have an abortion or give up the baby. Miloud soon learns that even good intentions are open to misinterpretation – especially since he is an outsider and not particularly welcomed by the local authorities, who should be dealing with the problems themselves.

SyNOpSiS It could have been a perfectly normal day, if he had missed that streetcar... But JAN OLAV just catches that streetcar, on a cold autumn day in Oslo. And on that exact streetcar, on that exact day, there she is. A beautiful girl in a red coat, holding a large bag of oranges in her arms. She smiles, and as their eyes meet she drops the bag and the oranges roll all over the streetcar. She gets off at the next stop, but Jan Olav cannot forget her. Who is she, what if he never sees her again? The quest for the girl with the oranges leads him through winter-cold Oslo and all the way to colorful Seville, where the air is warm and the trees are full of oranges. Twenty years later GEORG receives a letter from his father, Jan Olav, about a mysterious girl he calls the Orange Girl. But what can a father who is no longer alive have to tell his 16-year-old son? Georg starts reading the letter on his way to ski in the Norwegian mountains. On this ski trip he meets STELLA. Through his father's letter and a magical encounter under the starry Easter sky, Georg realizes that he and his father have something in common – the dream of true love. Does Georg dare take the chance?
