Vollidiot COMPLETE IDIOT Not all men are idiots – some are complete idiots. Simon Peters, a passionless telephone salesman, is down on his luck, has no girlfriend and is about to turn thirty. His girlfriend left him a year ago and a new situation is no - where in sight. Neither the Cologne nightlife scene nor the attempts by his Croatian cleaning lady to hook him up with someone offer any sort of hope of sexual fulfillment. But one day, behind the window of the All American Coffee Company he sees the woman of his dreams: Marcia P. Garcia, a South American expert in the art of frothing milk. She has a sensational smile and an equally sensa tional body. Simon is certain – she’s the one. The woman of his life. The mother of his bilingual children. Just one lit tle thing stands in the way of a romantic wedding: Simon still has to approach her first.

Die Wilden Huehner und die Liebe WILD CHICKS IN LOVE Love sure is a tough nut to crack, and Sprotte, Frieda, Melanie, Wilma and Trude can tell you a thing or two about it. All the "wild chicks" are struggling with it. Melanie is deeply hurt since Willi has left her for another girl, Nana, who’s two years older than him. Frieda has a complicated weekend relationship with Maik, whom she met at riding camp. Trude dreams of fellow student Ricky’s smoldering gaze. And Sprotte is still seeing Fred. In fact, everything would be great between them if it weren’t for Sprotte’s jealousy. The wild chicks’ leader also has another problem to cope with: her mother Sybille is planning to marry Thorben when Sprotte’s father sudden ly turns up after twelve years and sets Sybille’s heart all aflutter … But the most difficult relation of all has to be Wilma’s. Love, as the chicks come to realize, doesn’t always have to do with boys. In spite of all the emotional turmoil, the clique manages to stick together – which is just what you’d expect from these wild chicks!
