- A psychedelic mushroom trip turns a successful lawyer into a wanted man.
- Der 78-jährige ehemalige Architekt Richard Gärtner möchte seinem Leben ein Ende setzen. Dies soll jedoch nicht im Ausland, sondern ganz legal mit der Hilfe seiner Hausärztin geschehen. Für Dr. Brandt kommt es aus persönlicher Überzeugung nicht infrage, ihrem zwar betagten, aber gesunden Patienten ein todbringendes Präparat zu besorgen. Richard Gärtners Fall wird exemplarisch vor dem Deutschen Ethikrat diskutiert. Strittig ist dabei nicht die Frage, welche Formen von Sterbehilfe für Ärzte straffrei sind, sondern ob Mediziner dem Patientenwunsch eines Lebensmüden gerecht werden müssen - egal ob jung, alt, gesund oder krank. Ethikrat-Mitglied Dr. Keller befragt die Sachverständigen und lässt so die unterschiedlichen Experten zu Wort kommen. Die Verfassungsrechtlerin Prof. Litten und der Anwalt von Richard Gärtner stehen Bischof Thiel und Ärztekammerchef Sperling dabei mit unterschiedlichen Meinungen gegenüber. Am Ende richtet sich die Ethikrat-Vorsitzende direkt an das Publikum: Soll Richard Gärtner das tödliche Präparat bekommen, um sich selbstbestimmt das Leben zu nehmen?

- It's been decades since Richard Steiner turned his back on his hometown on Lake Tegernsee to pursue a career in Berlin. Over the years he has built up a successful law firm as a commercial lawyer and leads a sophisticated life with a charming wife, a luxurious apartment - and an attractive lover. One day, however, Richard is confronted with his long-forgotten roots: his uncle surprisingly inherited a hotel in his home village. Richard reluctantly drives to the Tegernsee with his nature-loving wife Christina. While Christina is enthusiastic about the traditional house and its charming employees at first sight, Richard would like to return to Berlin immediately. Only when a property speculator who wants to demolish the hotel and build a brand new golf course offers him three million euros does his interest in the inheritance jump from zero to one hundred. There's only one catch: his uncle has decreed that Richard must personally manage the hotel for four weeks before it becomes his property. So Richard changes out of necessity for a traditional jacket and tries to be a charming host. What he doesn't suspect: Old Hannes, receptionist and "good soul" of the house, has hatched a plan together with Christina and secretly mobilized the villagers as holiday guests in order to fool the unmotivated Richard into believing that the hotel business is flourishing. Lo and behold, Richard soon starts to like his new job more and more. Beautiful childhood memories are awakened, the office stress falls away from him, and the marriage with Christina seems to experience a second spring in the idyllic mountain world. However, the sale project is becoming more and more distant. But then Richard's bitchy lover Annett surprisingly turns up at Tegernsee. When Christina catches them both in flagrante delicto, the situation escalates - the marriage between Richard and Christina and the future of the hotel are threatened. But Richard doesn't give up that easily.

When it comes to herself, the social worker throws her principle overboard that everyone deserves a second chance.

A champagne reception, a visit to the opera and a nightcap - all precisely timed in 24 hours. Andrea fears that things won't go well between mother and daughter any longer. Unfortunately, the super-compact short vacation is under an unfavorable star: First, Andrea's brother Martin cancels at the last second, then all return flights are canceled due to a cloud of ash and, appropriately, the bus and train drivers across the country go on strike. Now what Andrea really wanted to avoid happens: she has to spend time all alone with her mother. However, not in a relaxed holiday environment, but on an adventurous return journey to Germany. Because something went wrong at work and Andrea is urgently expected in Hamburg to save a major order.

- Sauerland, in the fall of 1995: A walker finds the body of high school graduate Sonja Risse on the Wilzenberg. The fact that the murderer leaves a music box with the lullaby "Hush Little Baby" at the scene does not solve the problem. In Cologne 25 years later the investigative journalist Stefanie "Mütze" Schneider made a surprising discovery: In a disused parking garage she was filming a stripped male corpse - next to which a music box was running. When her colleague Jan Römer, who reported on the spectacular Sonja case in 1995 as a young journalist, recognizes the melody from back then, he immediately believes there is a connection. He and his ambitious colleague drove to Wilzenberg to interview Sonja's mother Maria, her former teacher Waldheim and her best friends. The more the journalists collect, the clearer the contradictions and gaps that the investigators should have noticed at the time. In the meantime, more people have arrived in the Sauerland: The Office for the Protection of the Constitution Münch is looking for Thomas Sonnefeld, who has returned after 25 years abroad. The two men share a dangerous secret that reporters uncover.

Shortly before his last ascent in the prestigious Airbus 747-8, he has to deal with his only weak point, which the self-confident achiever has been able to generously admit to himself: as a husband and father, Paul does not have that, as his two failed relationships with two children show same sense of responsibility as in the cockpit.

- "Feelings always suck." Lower-Bavarian village police officer Franz Eberhofer internalized this deeply-felt wisdom long ago. That is why he suffers only moderately when his girlfriend Susi distances herself. Even in the event of the neighboring Mooshammerhof burns down, Eberhofer does not break out into unrest. Even the fact that an attractive woman from Munich was killed in the fire does not irritate Franz. What really throws him off balance is that the doctor attests that his lifestyle is hazardous to his health and puts him on a strict diet: lots of vegetables, and no more red meat--certainly no more meatloaf. Tough conditions for the following murder investigation, which involves a new hotel or jealousy. Suspicious figures include Ms. Grimm, the victim's mother, a gay couple, and local soccer god Buengo. Unfortunately, Susi tasked Eberhofer with looking after their toddler Pauli for a while, which hinders police work. Worse, self-appointed private detective Rudi Birkenberger rushes to the rescue to advise on nutrition, education, and investigation without being asked. Can Franz get through this whole dilemma without those strengthening liver meat rolls?
- A different kind of end of work: the patrol car ran out of gas. Hubert and Staller argue on the bus about who is to blame for the dilemma when a cow blocks the road. Hubert drives away the stubborn animal with a warning shot. The bus driver discovers the glow of a fire in the neighboring forest - has the cow fled from it? On site, Hubert and Staller make a gruesome discovery: what burns there are the remains of a person - and the culprit seems to be found quickly: The one-armed farmer Weidinger has hidden in the bushes and is immediately arrested. For Police Officer Girwidz, the gruesome find comes at a very inopportune time. His former supervisor, Police Director Schmitz from Dortmund, surprisingly announced his visit. Girwidz hopes that Schmitz, who is about to retire, is looking for a worthy successor and has already commissioned Sonja and Riedl to bring the area up to scratch. Hubert and Staller should also help to give Schmitz a fitting reception, but the two would rather push the case forward. The arrest of Weidinger gives Girwidz hope for a quick solution. But Weidinger does not confess, but claims that he was only looking for his missing cow Emma. With only one arm, he doesn't seem predestined for this murder. The fact that pathologist Anja Licht finds out that the corpse is a young woman who has been strangled doesn't help them at first either. Weidinger must be released. Hubert and Staller have to pick up Police Director Schmitz from the S-Bahn station. There is a momentous accident on the way there - a young man lands on the hood of the patrol car. Driver Hubert is in shock: It looks like the man tried to kill himself by jumping off the bridge and landed directly on her car. Or was there help with the jump? Anja Licht finds traces of blood that do not match the accident. Police advisor Girwidz is on the verge of collapse. Instead of one corpse, they now have two. Police director Schmitz turns out to be a very brazen parasite. And then there is the cow Emma, who, thanks to further traffic obstructions, is now advertised for a manhunt. Hubert and Staller are puzzled and have no idea that the threads come together in a bizarre pensioner flat share on a farm.

They all have only one goal: they want to get to the top. Anna finds it irresponsible that Tom is in her group and that he is endangering his health and the safety of the group. She herself hopes that the hike will provide clarity about an important decision. Joschka wants to prove to his daughter Paula that he is there for her. But she has to give him a second chance to do this. It is only with difficulty that Simon and his partner Joseph manage to convince the individualists to set out on this five-day hike together. On the way it becomes clear why the 6000 meter high Kibo is not so easy to conquer: Primeval forest, stone deserts and snow fields make the ascent difficult; wild animals, thin air and the treacherous altitude sickness are even life-threatening. The goal, the snow-covered Kilimanjaro, always in sight, nobody wants to give up, because there is a lot at stake for everyone. Only when everything seems to conspire against the group do the four lone fighters learn that they can only make it to the summit together.

- In recent years, the plastic crisis has worsened. Images of dead animals and polluted oceans go around the world. The packaging industry thinks it has a solution to the problem: recycling. "100% recyclable" is printed on more and more bottles, boxes and bags. But if recycling really is the solution, why is more virgin plastic being produced today than ever before?

The film shows how some of the world's largest consumer goods companies use recycling as an excuse to continue polluting without consequences. We all live in a world drowning in garbage and this film asks the question: who is profiting from the plastic crisis?

- Since her husband's death, Gundula Glöckner has only lived for her work as a church geriatric nurse--and for her two children Michel and Lena. The supermother always wants the best for her offspring, which is why she can no longer see Lena falling for the wrong men over and over again. She decides to put in a good word for her daughter's happiness in love at the highest point and signs up for a pilgrimage to Padua. At the grave of St. Anthony, she wants to ask for a decent husband for her daughter. With this goal she is in good company, because the tour was designed by Pastor Schrotmann especially for Catholic singles, inviting participants to use the spiritual power of the sacred to find what they have lost: love. The grumpy bus driver Benno has mostly ridicule for his pilgrim passengers, but the small group of illustrious Lonely Hearts doesn't let that spoil their mood. Lively "Jumbo", for example, tries to flirt with Gundula before he starts his trip, which she deliberately ignores. 15-year-old Michel feels drawn to Violetta, who is as beautiful as she is spiritually-minded. And while professional soldier Werner seems to find his Catholic dream women in his widow friends Rosi and Doro, single parent Margitta wants to take a few days' vacation from her pubescent children. As if fate wanted to play a trick on the happy pilgrims, the journey to Italy is interrupted again and again by mishaps and other complications. As if that weren't enough, Benno especially offends Gundula with his gruff manner. But as much as he gets on her nerves, she is strangely drawn to him. She also finally finds out why Benno hides his feelings behind a protective wall of anger and sarcasm. Sometimes fate leads one to happiness in a roundabout way. This is the experience of the heroine of the cryptic love comedy "Pilgrimage to Padua". The godly geriatric nurse goes to Italy to pray for her daughter--and unexpectedly meets a man herself who gives her life a new impetus. Gisela Schneeberger plays this woman with an inimitable mixture of spirited determination and kind hearted sensitivity. In Herbert Knaup as the grumpy bus driver she finds the perfect counterpart--and together the two form a wonderfully unequal dream couple. Also on pilgrimage: Bernhard Schütz, Petra Kleinert, and Sybille J. Schedwill.
- Juvenile detention or retirement home: That's the choice 17-year-old Malu is faced with after she's been caught stealing again. In order to save the girl from imprisonment, her aunt Johanna agrees to take Malu in with her until she has completed her social service in a retirement home. The rebellious half-orphan, whose single father Paul has hardly any time for her as a pilot, initially finds being placed with her aunt just as restrictive as a stay in prison: far away from the hustle and bustle of the big city, Johanna has lived in her parents' house since childhood, an idyllic one Pension located on a lake. For the funky teenager, this environment is of course a deadly boring wasteland, especially since Johanna hasn't rented rooms to tourists for a long time. Her only permanent guest is the quirky German professor Franz Gmeiner, who is in early retirement. The residents of the next village consider Johanna to be dismissive and harsh, and since separating from her husband she has led a secluded life as an artist. So it's no wonder that she and her bold niece kept getting into arguments at first. But Johanna quickly realizes that behind Malu's rebellious facade is in fact a vulnerable girl who is still struggling with the loss of her mother and the constant absence of her father. On the other hand, Malu senses that rugged Johanna might be more like her in some ways than she thought. A kind of friendship gradually develops between the aging hermit and the young rebel, in which Malu learns to take on duties and responsibilities, while Johanna finds her way back to life through her lively niece. Eventually, Malu can even persuade her aunt to clean up the pension and rent out rooms again. Everything is going well until one day Malu's "cool" friend Bill shows up. After a quarrel with Johanna, she elopes with him to the city - and by violating the court conditions she risks being put in youth detention after all.
- Every day counts. What sounds like a hackneyed calendar phrase involuntarily becomes the motto of life for the music teacher Rainer. A brain tumor eats its way through the head of the mid-fifties and at best gives him another year. The inventory of his existence so far is not very intoxicating: with his ex-wife Brigitte there is no turning back, for his son Daniel he is anything but a good dad and only his worn-out guitar reminds of the childhood dream of a rock career. That his band "Bochums Steine" didn't make it 30 years ago was mainly due to Rainer and his ego. Now he would like to round up the boys again - for a farewell or a belated breakthrough? Who knows. At the concert organizer Steffi he runs into open doors with his revival idea. The drummer Bulle, bassist Konni and keyboardist Thomas - all between a middle-class existence and an age-related life crisis - join in after initial hesitation. To get the singer Ole back on board, however, Rainer has to jump over his shadow - and straighten what he screwed up at the time. He doesn't have much time.
- Everything runs like clockwork for the Jens family: Hanna and Martin are extremely happily married, their son Paul is a bright, funny eleven-year-old boy. Professionally, too, things are going well: Both are employed in managerial positions in a Hamburg shipyard, Hanna in quality management, Martin in the development department. Everything is fine the way it is. And then it gets even better. Because completely surprisingly, Hanna is promoted to second managing director by junior boss Bernd Möller. A recognition that Hanna would never have dreamed of. And Martin is overjoyed, too, as he now sees the necessary funds for the development of his passion project, a revolutionary fuel cell, within reach with Hanna's support. Of course not all that glitters is gold. Because what Hanna didn't know, the traditional shipyard is on the verge of bankruptcy. Hanna has to go through a tough austerity course, which Martin's project also falls victim to. Sworn to secrecy by junior boss Möller, Hanna cannot confide in her angry, disappointed husband. Thick storm clouds are now hanging over the former picture-book family, which are becoming even darker because of Martin's widowed, headstrong father Willfried, who has temporarily moved in with them. For Willfried, the mere fact that not Martin but Hanna became boss is an impossibility; that she is now also - apparently - deliberately sabotaging his son, another sign of the completely wrong course of the modern world. Where will this all end? First of all, in a veritable marriage crisis of the former dream couple. While Martin seeks encouragement from a young colleague, Hanna wears herself out in her fight for the shipyard and slowly discovers that someone is playing the wrong cards in order to enrich themselves from the ruin of the shipyard. But it seems too late to try to save both the shipyard and their marriage.
