Gisberta Again and again Elisha finds himself confronted by Alex, Timo, Sascha, and Mika – all 14-year-olds living in the boys’ orphanage with him. Their worlds ought to be similar and yet they are completely different. While Elisha builds tiny obstacle courses for ants in the woods, the other boys spend their days watching porn, absorbed in their emerg ing sexual fantasies. When the attractive 31-year-old Gisberta is newly employed at the orphanage, she quickly becomes the object of their desires and the boys try to approach her with clumsily aggressive adolescent behavior. Elisha, however, actually gets to know Gisberta. Alex, who has his eyes everywhere, discovers the two laughing in the kitchen. His erupting jealousy drives the group to continuously humiliate Elisha in any way possible, but this just brings Elisha closer to Gisberta, and a tender friendship develops between them. But one day the sexual fantasies of the other boys take a turn to brutal reality.

Hanni & Nanni Hanni and Nanni have gone one step too far this time. It all began as no more than a bet, but culminated in a wild chase through a luxury department store. As a final straw, the two girls were even accused of theft. The twins are expelled from school and their parents send them off to a boarding school called “Lindenhof”. A whole new life begins. While good-natured Nanni soon makes her first friends, hot-headed Hanni has much more trouble settling in. The first crucial test comes when the “Lindenhof” hockey team is due to play against the JoCats, the muchloved team from their old school – Hanni and Nanni have to de cide where their loyalties lie. An unexpected dis - covery helps the two of them to choose. When “Lindenhof” also faces danger, it finally becomes clear to Hanni and Nanni that this is where they belong. They cook up a bold plan to save the school … Genre Family Category Feature Film Cinema Year of Pro - duction 2009 Director Christine Hartmann Screenplay Katharina Reschke, Jane Ainscough, Christine Hartmann, based on a novel by Enid Blyton Director of Photography Alexander Fischerkoesen Editor Horst Reiter Producers Nico Hofmann, World Sales CINEPOOL A Division of TELEPOOL GmbH · Irina Ignatiew Sonnenstrasse 21 · 80331 Munich/Germany phone +49-89-55 87 60 · fax +49-89-55 87 62 29 email: cinepool@telepool.de · www.telepool.de Juergen Schuster, Ariane Krampe, Wolf Bauer, Thomas Peter Friedl, Hermann Florin, Emmo Lempert Production Company UFA Cinema/Munich Berlin Cologne Potsdam, in co-production with Gesellschaft fuer Feine Filme/Berlin, ZDF/Mainz Principal Cast Sophia Muenster, Jana Muenster, Hannelore Elsner, Heino Ferch, Suzanne von Borsody, Anja Kling, Katharina Thalbach Length 85 min Format 35 mm, color, cs Original Version German Subtitled Version English Sound Tech nology Dolby Digital With backing from FilmFernsehFonds Bayern, Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg, German Federal Film Board (FFA), German Federal Film Fund (DFFF) After a course in Theater Studies at Ludwig-Maximilian University in Munich and various seminars at the American Film Institute, Christine Hartmann initially worked as an assistant director and dramaturge for theater and television.
