2003 film by Felix Randau

From her childhood, Nadia felt responsible for her mentally disturbed and recently homeless mother, Irene. For a while Nadia had cut off all contact with Irene and tried to live her life, until Irene suddenly appears drunk at the wedding of her son, Mickey. Nadia sinks back into this quagmire of love and hate, responsibility, guilt and shame. She gathers her strength to find a home for her mother while at the same time she hides from her partner, Ian, the fact that the drunk woman at her brother's wedding was her mother. But no one can oppress Irene, let alone her daughter.

Die Freundinnen Caro und Daniela treffen sich in Andalusien. Seit sich die beiden vor zwanzig Jahren bei einer Schiffskatastrophe kennengelernt haben, machen sie zusammen Urlaub. Doch dieses Jahr wird es eine besondere Reise. Das erste Mal kehren sie auf Caros Wunsch nach Cádiz zurück, wo sie sich kennen gelernt haben. Und während Daniela früher gerne noch im Urlaub Telefonkonferenzen abhielt, hat sie kurz vor der Reise ihren gut bezahlten Job verloren, für die arbeitswütige Perfektionistin der Weltuntergang.

2014 film by Petra Katharina Wagner

In the late 70s, young Petra Grust begins teaching at the progressive Odenwald School. She is flattered by the trust placed in her by its widely respected headmaster Simon Pistorius. But gradually certain incidents at the boarding school begin to unsettle her. Petra then realizes that Pistorius is abusing Frank, a 13-year-old. When Frank is told that he has to spend school holidays with Pistorius, he tries to commit suicide. Petra tells Frank's father (the chairman of the school's governing body) but he believes Pistorius instead of his own son. Petra fails to convince people of the man's true nature. 30 years later, Frank goes to Petra, who has long since left the school and has stopped teaching altogether. He has never been able to speak about what happened but now, after the suicide of another pupil, he is no longer willing to remain silent. He wants Petra to bear witness at the school's forthcoming anniversary celebrations.
