When a body is found floating inside a pond deep in the forest, Detective Paul Werner is faced with a mystery.

John Gruber is in his mid thirties, an egocentric, living life in the fast lane and sparing no expense. But all of a sudden he is thrown off track by a cancer diagnosis and by the person who unwillingly delivers the news: Sarah, a DJane from Berlin, who is not his type at all. Feelings just aren’t Gruber’s cup of tea and now, without having asked for them, he has more than ever before…

A young couple in love spontaneously get involved in an underground play in a dark cellar that is billed as "particularly bad". As expected, the play begins "artistically valuable" - the audience is rather bored, some filming along with amusement. However, the mood changes abruptly when Manfred Amour, the play's car, enters the cellar.

Marisa, a recently retired doctor, decides to travel as a volunteer to a Greek refugee camp where, in her opinion, they need people exactly like her. When she gets there, it becomes clear that she is nothing like the other volunteers. When she meets little Ahmed, the boundaries between the need to care and the need to feel useful begin to blur.

Anna wants to break away from her past and family background. A new social environment and a second educational path are supposed to help her achieve this. However, her ambitious pursuit of a middle-class ideal is relentlessly torpedoed by the appearance of her brother in distress.

Following a trial and a verdict, a family tries to find their way back to normality. They are forced, however, to deal with the expectations of the Turkish community to which they belong.

Johannes has a comfortable life and stands to inherit the family-run hotel. Unfortunately, however, he is an inveterate people-pleaser and avoids conflict at any cost. His father’s last will and testament sparks a tragi-comic journey to sunny Greece – and the realisation that it is time to take control of his own life.

A thirtysomething couple invites another couple to dinner in the suburban pad to which they’ve recently moved. Complications ensue. The less you know about this unsettling chamber-piece drama, the better. Suffice it to say, it deftly and deliciously wrongfoots the audience all the way to its enigmatic finale. The pieces of the film’s carefully constructed jigsaw puzzle elegantly slot together; even then, everyone will see a slightly different picture.
