Between Heaven And Earth

Eigentlich sind Salina und Albert ganz normale Berliner Jugendliche. Eigentlich. Actually Salina and Albert are pretty normal teenagers living in Berlin. But what makes a difference between them and others is not only the fact, that their childhood friends and relatives are not alive anymore and that they had to flee their home country, uncertain, when they will see it again - and if at all. What makes a difference are the dreams. How can you dream of the future, if you don´t even know what tomorrow will bring. It is seven years ago, that the family S. escaped from the war in their country Chechnia to come to Germany. Seven years of uncertainty, seven years of hope to be accepted as political refugees and to get a permission to stay, that would make it possible to start working again and to finally built up a normal life. During the two years this film accompanies the life of the family, it shows what it means, to fill your days with nothing but waiting and how difficult it is to not loose hope between metropolitain life and muslim religion, between great dreams and tough reality of everyday life.

Fynn - a 19 year old boy has been sentenced to community service in a psychiatric ward. At first it seems like the last thing he wants to do and he feels totally misplaced among the patients. But he soon finds himself forced to rethink his prejudices as he begins to befriend some of them. One of them is 25 year old Lea, whom he begins to have a romantic relationship with. But she uses him to steal drugs for a suicide attempt. And one day he finds her unconscious in her room. The attempt fails and for the first time she lets him see behind her facade. She feels guilty but Fynn offers her to start over.

Headshots

Trapped in the world of the "young creative class" in Berlin, where life is your career, love is sexual convenience, and happiness measured by degrees of cynical detachment, Marianne (Loretta Pflaum), a thirty-something photographer, begins to look at things anew after discovering that she is pregnant. Soon a hidden world of darkness and disorder, mistrust and lies breaks into the open. Told as a web of interlocking anecdotes, Headshots charts the course from fragile love to betrayal, from complicity to self-annihilation, and back through twists that are comical, bitter, ridiculous, and poignant, in a contemporary Berlin that has never been shown before.
