- (Vergesst mir meine Traudel nicht) A young woman who has run away from a girls reformatory is taken in by two young men, a teacher and a policeman, in Berlin.
(Das Kaninchen bin ich) A 19-year-old East German girl named Maria Morzeck is denied university admission because her brother is in jail for political reasons. She later has an affair with the judge who passed the harsh sentence on her brother and eventually confronts him.
(Die Buntkarierten) Chronicle of a Berlin working class family between 1884 and 1949, as events in and outside the family - from social revolution to the rise of fascism - shape their lives.
(Der Rat der Götter) Chairman Mauch, who had supported Hitler, finds new fame and fortune in West Germany after the war. The bourgeois chemist Dr. Hans Scholz lives through a tortuous political transformation and maturing process. Finally, he becomes wrapped up in his political neutrality and closes his eyes to the fact that poison is being produced in his factory. Standing before the judges at the Nuremburg Trials, he learns that he is partly responsible for millions of deaths in gas chambers at concentration camps. - Genre(s)
