By Castille Landon, with Hero Fiennes, Tiffin Josephine Langford, Louise Lombard.
The relationship of Tessa Young and Hardin Scott has gone through many difficulties that, on the other hand, have managed to strengthen their union and their love.

ALLES ÜBER MARTIN SUTER. AUSSER DIE WAHRHEIT.
In cinemas on 25 August 2022.
By André Schäfer, with Martin Suter.
SYNOPSIS AVAILABLE IN GERMAN ONLY - Dieser Film ist kein klassisches Portrait, sondern ein Dokumentarfilm, der mittels Fiktion die Romane Martin Suters zum Leben erweckt und uns den Autoren hinter den Geschichten auf einer ganz neuen Ebene näherbringt. „Die Fantasie stimmt ja meistens mehr als die Realität“, sagt Suter. Er spaziert durch seine Geschichten, filmisch und ästhetisch eindrücklich inszeniert, beleuchtet seine Protagonist:innen und ihre Geheimnisse – und insbesondere auch seinen eigenen, privaten Kosmos: Eine Welt, die von Gegensätzen durchtränkt und von der Sucht nach Geschichten geprägt ist. „Schreiben hat viel mit weglassen zu tun“, sagt der Schweizer Bestsellerautor. Dieser Film zeigt uns alles über Martin Suter – alles, ausser die Wahrheit.
DIE KÄNGURU-VERSCHWÖRUNG
In cinemas on 25 August 2022.
By Marc-Uwe Kling, with Das Känguru, Dimitrij Schaad, Rosalie Thomass, Petra Kleinert, Michael Ostrowski.
SYNOPSIS AVAILABLE IN GERMAN ONLY - Marc-Uwe und das Känguru gehen eine gewagte Wette ein: Sie werden ihre Wohnung verlieren, wenn sie es nicht schaffen, die Mutter ihrer Nachbarin zu retten. Die ist im Internet falsch abgebogen und leugnet nun die Klimakrise. Auf ihrem absurden Roadtrip zur «Conspiracy Convention» in Bielefeld geraten Kleinkünstler Marc-Uwe und das Beuteltier ins Visier von Verschwörungs-Guru Adam Krieger und seinen fanatischen Anhängern. Blöderweise können die beiden es einfach nicht lassen, zur falschen Zeit das Richtige zu sagen. Und plötzlich geht es nicht mehr nur um ihre Wohnung – sondern um Leben und Tod! Werden sie es trotzdem schaffen? Sehr wahrscheinlich – ist ja eine Komödie…
Marc-Uwe Klings Känguru-Storys haben längst Kultstatus. Bei DIE KÄNGURU-VERSCHWÖRUNG führt Kling selbst Regie und bringt eine brandneue, noch nicht in Buchform erschienene Geschichte auf die Leinwand: Eine rasante, toll gespielte, satirisch-schräge Komödie, die Verschwörungs-Theoretiker*innen einen Spiegel vorhält – voller Witz und Biss.

Anna is a local village girl; she has a daughter, Julia, from a previous relationship. Some doubt whether this new relationship will work out – but not Marco or Anna. They get married. Their love is gentle and beautiful; unable to fully fathom it, they express it in simple words. The trust between them grows and their tenderness endures; the happiness they feel at every touch is only surpassed by the warmth of stroking a cow. But soon Marco seems to be losing control of his impulses more and more often ...

But he’s gone now, and Nancy has a plan: she will find adventure with a sex worker named Leo Grande. In an anonymous hotel room Nancy greets Leo. He looks every bit as good as his picture, but what Nancy wasn’t expecting was conversation as well as fornication.

Over the course of three rendezvous, the power dynamics shift and their well-worn masks begin to slip.
