Der Albaner THE ALBANIAN A one-way trip to the dark side of the European dream. Where no one looks. Where no one cares. Where exile, loneliness and money prevail. This is the story of Arben, the Albanian, who leaves the poorest country of Europe for the richest. He needs money to marry and obey the rules of his people. But the eldorado has its own rules, it is not welcoming to strangers and only the strongest survive. The Albanian is one of them, and he will pay the price. And learn that losing his innocence does not guarantee a fair return ticket.

Drei THREE Hanna and Simon have been a couple for 20 years. They live in Berlin, side by side in combative harmony. They are attractive, modern, mature, childless, cultivated, down-toearth. Affairs, wanting children, moving in together, miscarriage, fleeing and returning: this anchorwoman and art technician have put a lot behind them, but they don’t have so much ahead of them anymore. That is until both, without knowing about the other's actions, fall in love with the same man, Adam.
