- Berlin Film Fest 1984: the best place for every cinema fan. Everyone wants to be in on the festival, but with no accreditation, admission could be very difficult. Journalist Matthies gets to know the rules of being in or out when he wants to see a screening and is not welcome. Thus he watches an old German silent flick in which he's barely interested. The next day the newspapers are full of reports about a newly-discovered German masterpiece from the silent era. It seems that Matthies had just seen *the* film that everybody is talking about now. Also everybody is speculating about its director, who remains unknown. When Matthies talks to old projectionist acquaintance Ackrewa about the film, the latter struggles to recall the director's name. Matthies decides to research the case. An odyssey into film-history begins, and if it is successful Matthies will come up with a top story.
- This film traces the story of the German-Jewish Auerbach family of Oppingen, Germany, from 1933 through 1945. The film begins with home movies in the 1930s and follows Inge Auerbach from her hometown to her deportation to Theresienstadt, where she suffered for 3 1/2 years and was among the 100 children who survived. Rare footage is accompanied by on-camera interviews of Inge and her mother on a return visit to their town, and to Theresienstadt, where an amazing amount of photographs and documents were saved. Interviews with former Nazi Party members, townspeople, and the switchboard operator from Theresienstadt are conducted by German high school students and exposes German citizens who attempt to deny and conceal their involvement in the Holocaust.
