- A seemingly entirely normal childhood in the 80s, captured on countless video cassettes. On them a family in which each one plays their own role. But there's a shadow on everyday life. With his camera the father calmly documents how in between christmas celebrations and school events the mother becomes more and more of a shadow of herself. At first she disappears from the recordings, later on from the family all together. Father, brother and sister are left and the family construct crumbles. With her film the director callenges her family to break their decades-long silence concerning the loss of the mother. A diary is found, as well as the father's old super 8-recordings, in which the mother still smiled into the camera lovingly. We emerge into the life story of Gaby, who dreams of leaving the bavarian small town and her old school parents as a teenager. Despite the revolutionary cliché of the 70s, marriage is the only logical way to independence for the couple. The climate of the time, torn between emancipation and a conservative way of though, rubs off on the biography of the young woman. Images from society and politics show plenary chambers filled by men and planes with no female pilots in sight. Gabi struggles with the realization of her dreams while her husband lives out a successful career. The camera joins a woman on her tragic life's path, who ultimately stumbles over her role as mother, which she never fully took on.

- Somewhere, in the middle of the structurally weak region, the Wendland in Germany, people have decided to found a village. A model village for Europe's future, for a hundred old, a hundred refugees and a hundred young people. By now, this social experiment has already come to be a micro cosmos of society. Just like under a burning lens, hot topics are discussed and solutions are found to the problems, that affect us all: the integration of refugees, an aging society, social isolation and the difficulties of people with disabilities, seniors or single parents, the lack of perspective for young people in the provinces... It is a mammoth project, a bureaucratic hurdle race, an idealized utopia - spun and carried by very special protagonists. The village can become the prototype for a European way of life on the country side, it can, however, also end in an ecological senior residency.
- Bauhaus is the home of the avant-garde and the foundation of modern architecture. Today, almost 100 years after being founded, the Bauhaus-masters continue to be the stars of the architecture and design history. However, the (his)story of the Bauhaus remains male dominated. Only experts know the names of the female contributors of the art school, even though a great part of its innovative potential goes to its women. The documentary "Bauhausfrauen" is a homage to the forgotten Bauhauswomen and shows: The Bauhaus idea is alive and is also HERstory.

- Do we still need theater in the 21st century? We will dare to approach this question with an interdisciplinary all round examination of the situation of the theater, starting with a specific contestation with the works of Gosch. Have we maybe lost the basic impulse in debates and fights concerning the director's theater, the post-dramatic and the cultural-political struggle for existence? Part of this project will be valuable film material from Lars Barthel, which allow us a deep insight into the last years of Gosch's life and holds on to the intense work and rehearsals with his actors up until his death. What was, what is the secret Jürgen Gosch bares in his way of making theater. This material, which observes the director with his actors, shows us what it means to live theater and love art with the heart and soul until death do you part. With Ulrich Matthes, Corinna Harfouch, Meike Droste, Christine Schorn.
