| Berlin in the 90s - Aside from the major political upheavals and the commercialized techno culture, a somewhat forgotten parallel universe also shaped the city's aura: The world of basement bars and backyard creatives. In the free houses and apartments in Berlin-Mitte, after the fall of the Berlin Wall, a scene of very different young people celebrated carefree freedom. Whether a project was promising or not did not matter - they lived from one event to the next experiment, playfully de-establishing art and market. The film "Berlinized - Sexy an Eis" describes this special way of life in a reflective journey back to Berlin-Mitte of the 90s. The filmmaker Lucian Busse, himself an active protagonist of that time, documented the city's transformation, the art scene, clubs, concerts, and the construction sites where the open spaces were constantly being filled with new impersonal office buildings. |

| Two angels watch over Berlin. Damiel (Bruno Ganz) and Cassiel (Otto Sander) are silent observers, accompanying people through the city's rooftops and streets. They hear their thoughts and feelings, without being able to feel them themselves. Ever since Damiel fell in love with the trapeze artist Marion (Solveig Dommartin), he struggles with his fate. He would love to become human. To do this, he would have to become mortal, with all the consequences. A former angel (Peter Falk) advises him to take the plunge into life. |

| In a small town, everyone has tried to forget what happened shortly after WWII. That is, until a stranger finds a book that Jadup (Kurt Böwe) gave to the young refugee Boel (Katrin Knappe), who resettled in the town over 30 years ago. Painful memories about Boel and the post-war period begin to surface and shake up the whole town. Boel vanished back then and nobody knew why. Word spread about a rape and some tried to blame a Russian soldier. Jadup, the town's respected and popular mayor, remembers, though, how he mistrusted Boel and did not help her through this difficult time; HE didn't even notice THAT Boel loved him. Jadup's confrontation with the past gives him a new, critical view of his current situation and surroundings. Originally censored and later banned by GDR officials for being too controversial, Jadup and Boel was not released until 1988. |
