Autobahnraser A2 RACER A group of young speed-freaks with supercharged cars, organize regular high-speed races on the autobahn. These adrenaline loaded, illegal events have lately been disturbed by regular police raids, actually aimed at a group of high-tech car thieves, who are stealing expensive sports-cars from transporters driving along the autobahn. Centering all available forces on this case, the investigating inspector assigns Carl, a young rookie officer, to the illegal car races. Carl has a problem: his car is a rusty old piece of junk and he quickly falls for the beautiful Nicki, co-pilot of a lightning-fast BMW M3. Carl is quickly drawn into this world of cool guys, fast cars and beautiful girls and after a high speed cruise with Nicki, Carl is hooked. The car thieves strike again: Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini and Viper – a million dollars on wheels. Now there are cops everywhere. Carl and his new friends take action: They need to catch the car thieves or they will never be able to burn rubber without being hassled by the police – they need to defend the very last resort of freedom and individualism – the German autobahn – the one and only highway without a speed limit. Based on the extremely successful videogame by Davilex that has sold millions of copies in Germany and other countries, A2 Racer is an action-comedy filled to the rim with adrenaline and gasoline.

Baltic Storm During the night from the 27th to 28th September 1994, the Swedish-Estonian ferry Estonia sank in the middle of the Baltic Sea. 852 people lost their lives, only 145 were saved. Until today, this has remained the biggest shipping catastrophe in European waters since the end of World War II. Julia Reuter, a German journalist, is trying to get the scoop on military black market arms trafficking from Russia. Her investigations lead her to Tallinn in Estonia, where on the evening of the 27th September 1994 she misses the ferry Estonia by mere minutes. Erik Westermark is a Swedish lawyer, who is returning from a sailing trip along the Estonian coast with his 10year-old son aboard the Estonia. But the ferry doesn't make its port of call, it sinks in the midst of the cold Baltic Sea. Erik is among the rescued, but his son's fate remains unclear. While reporting about the tragedy, Julia meets Erik in a hospital in Stockholm. Both notice that the hastily assembled governmental investigating commission is very concerned with hushing up the actual background facts of the sinking. Together, they seek to get to the bottom of the whole story and become embroiled in the intricate crossfire between secret services and militaries. What started out as a ”normal“ search for the truth, ends as a final confrontation between ”David“ and ”Goliath“.
