Wo ist Fred? WHERE IS FRED? Fred wants to get married to Mara, who is a single parent. The hitch is that Mara’s son Linus hates Fred and is bent on getting rid of this unwanted male competition. There is only one way to win Linus’ favor: to get him an original basketball personally signed by ALBA-Berlin superstar Mercurio Mueller. And the only place to get it is the handicapped tribune, where Mercurio Mueller throws the ball after each record basket. Fred sees no other option: he needs to pretend to be handicapped in order to gain access to the handicapped tribune. When Fred actually catches the ball he is the star of the evening. The following media hype forces him to lead an exhausting and comical double life in the course of which he finally finds his true love.

Zeit ohne Eltern TIME WITHOUT PARENTS Two daughters, two pairs of parents, two families representing an estimated figure of some one million affected people in the former GDR. Time Without Parents tells the story of Jana Simon and Franziska Kriebisch who both grew up in the GDR. They didn’t know each other but shared the same fate of being separated from their parents from one day to the next after the secret police arrested them. Jana’s parents are arrested after trying to escape with their children; Franziska’s parents are arrested after applying for an exit visa. Franziska and Jana were both 10-years-old at the time. Jana and her brother are taken to an orphanage; Franziska and her brother are then raised by their grandparents. One year later, both pairs of parents are released. The Kriebisch’s freedom is paid for by West Germany. The Simons continued to live under observation until the fall of the Wall. But a normal family life is no longer possible. The experiences leave their mark and both families fall apart. Since then, no one has talked about what actually happened.
