- DirectorEd HerzogStarsSebastian BezzelIlse NeubauerEisi Gulp'Die, you pig!'. The words are emblazoned on the wall of school principal Höpfl's home for all the villagers to see. Soon after, this very man is found lying dead as a doornail on the train tracks. Franz Eberhofer, the local policeman in the sleepy Lower Bavarian province of Niederkaltenkirchen, suspects murder. And the prospect is one that does not entirely displease him, as this backwoods offers very little excitement other than the fantastic meals with his cooking-obsessed Grandma or the constant stress with his Beatles-loving Dad. He is supported by Rudi Birkenberger, now a department-store detective but previously with Franz in the Munich detective squad until both were suspended. The Höpfl case gets even more tangled when a second corpse is found, that of a drug-addict hustler with whom Höpfl had been in contact. Franz must also cope with the fact that his Susi is having an affair and he thinks the lover is the Thai offspring of his estranged brother, who is supposed to be their babysitter.

- DirectorThomas KronthalerStarsSaskia VesterHeinz-Josef BraunFanny KrauszJohanna and Heinz Sailer live on a farm in Bavaria with his mother Magdalena, who is in need of care. The adult children Caroline and Christof have moved to Munich for their training, but they still like to visit their parents and their bulging refrigerator on weekends. When Magdalena dies unexpectedly one evening, the couple's grief soon gives way to very pragmatic considerations: grandma's pension and care allowance were an integral part of the household budget. The installments for the new tractor have to be paid, the children are far from being able to support themselves financially and Johanna doesn't want to miss out on her monthly visits to the hairdresser. So they simply put the deceased to rest in the freezer instead of reporting her death. When Caroline and Christoph come to visit, they initially react with horror at the macabre game of hide-and-seek. But even for them, moral concerns quickly give way to financial considerations. Using tricks, excuses and a talent for improvisation, the family manages to keep their grandmother's death a secret. Heinz in particular is plagued by remorse because of his mother's frosty interim storage, but going back seems more difficult with each passing day. However, when, completely unexpectedly, Magdalena's level of care is due to be checked, the fraud inevitably threatens to be exposed. Then Johanna has the saving idea: There is a senior citizen named Erni in the neighborhood who would be perfect as a grandmother double. Their loveless children can be persuaded to go on a spontaneous vacation by offering to take Erni in. Everything seems to be going like clockwork - until it turns out that the supposedly senile grandma is not as deranged as she seems. On the contrary: Erni sees through her hosts' game and makes very specific demands in return for their silence. Out of necessity, the family agrees to the deal. With her humorous, idiosyncratic manner, the old lady causes quite a stir at the Sailerhof - but also helps with family conflicts with down-to-earth advice. The Sailers soon become deeply attached to their smart "loan mom" and would prefer not to give her away at all. But finally something happens that no one expected and that could put the clever farming family in dire straits.
- DirectorPeter SämannStarsChristine NeubauerGötz OttoAugust SchmölzerGermany, 1946: The war has exhausted the country, unemployment and hunger determine people's everyday lives. The Sudeten German Clara also feels the hardship. She had to flee Marienbad and was forcibly quartered in an Upper Franconian village with her war-disabled brother-in-law Johann. The locals' rejection of the "refugee pack" is not their only concern. Six-year-old Heidi, one of the four children Clara looks after after her sister's death, has tuberculosis and urgently needs medication. In order to be able to pay the black market price, Clara applies as a seasonal worker on the cherry orchard at Gut Braunfels. She is lucky because her great love Martin, whom she had to leave seven years ago because of the children, works here as an administrator and selects her from a large number of applicants. The work is hard, but Clara is tough and her love for Martin gives her strength. Both dream of a future together, but their plans are suddenly thwarted: the wealthy landowner Andreas von Braunfels longs for an heir, but his ailing wife Ariane can no longer have children after three miscarriages. Von Braunfels' interest in the self-confident Clara, who refuses to be intimidated and climbs to the highest treetops even in wind and rain, quickly arouses the envy of the other harvest workers. When a colleague steals her hard-earned wages, von Braunfels makes Clara an immoral offer that could save Heidi: He wants Clara to give him an heir and offers her 20,000 Reichsmarks in return. Clara has no choice - but if she accepts the offer, she will lose Martin forever.

- DirectorSibylle TafelStarsChristiane PaulHendrik DurynMichael A. GrimmPerfect lover Bruno has no idea that 'air hostess' Michelle postpones moving in because she's a Munich waitress leading bigamy-like multiple lives while lacking a proper self-image. Bumping into study roommate, stick-tied-up boring hairdresser Doro(thea), Michelle poses as manager of her son Jacob's favorite pop band and accepts an invitation to the Wolfratshausen home. Doro's cop husband Matthias isn't amused to be spied upon by the eagle-eye he never could stand, as if he senses that the gay porn which Doro finds in the garage isn't about to 'compromise their son's future' as she rages but the result of her failure to provide marital satisfaction, unlike Mattias's hot newbie colleague Winnie. Truth time becomes inevitable for most of them, lots of courage is required to deal with it all.
