Rosenstrasse

When Ruth's husband dies in New York, in 2000, she imposes strict Jewish mourning, which puzzles her children. A stranger comes to the house - Ruth's cousin - with a picture of Ruth, age 8, in Berlin, with a woman the cousin says helped Ruth escape. Hannah, Ruth's daughter engaged to a gentile, goes to Berlin to find the woman, Lena Fisher, now 90. Posing as a journalist investigating intermarriage, Hannah interviews Lena who tells the story of a week in 1943 when the Jewish husbands of Aryan women were detained in a building on Rosenstrasse. The women gather daily for word of their husbands. The film goes back and forth to tell Ruth and Lena's story. How will it affect Hannah?

Zum letzten Kliff

Zum letzten Kliff is a German remake of Fawlty Towers. 11 of the 12 original episodes were remade by RTL (series 1 finale "The Germans" remaining unadapted due to its mocking of German people and frequent references to World War II). It was the only remake to consult John Cleese, the writer and title role of the original series. Apart from the pilot, no other episode was ever aired and it's reported that John Cleese made a cameo in one of the unaired episodes.
