Frau faehrt, Mann schlaeft WOMAN DRIVING, MAN SLEEPING The dentist Sue and the philosophy professor Anton have been leading a seemingly in tact life; juggling careers and a family with four children. Until one day, however, when their 18-year-old son Thomas has a break down. Thomas’ situation threatens the stability of the family. While the other almost grown-up children continue on with their own lives, Sue and Anton are suddenly left to themselves. Sue recognizes that she has fallen in love with another man, and Anton’s current mistress is pregnant with his child. When Thomas suddenly dies, Sue realizes that she must do something to change her life. Faced with the decision of ending or revitalizing her relationship to Anton, she understands that sometimes it can be quite easy to be happy.

Fremder Freund THE FRIEND We were friends. Were we? He doesn’t mention that he’s leaving, says no goodbyes. He parties one last time as if there was no tomorrow and the next day simply disappears: Yunes, 22 years old, a process engineering student in Berlin, born in Yemen. Chris, his German roommate, begins to worry. He remembers their friendship: how they first met in a Turkish grocery shop, the careful approach of two foreign cultures, the discussions about women, the great times with Julia and Nora. In cases when it really mattered, Chris and Yunes were always there for each other. But there are also things Chris never understood: moments in which pride and anger flared up in Yunes and frightened everybody around him. Times when his thoughts seemed to be infinitely far away. And the changes in his beliefs and his behavior for which there were never any explanations. Chris starts looking for him. Yunes’ parents in Yemen don’t know anything. Neither does his ex-girlfriend. He broke off contact with his friends, his Islamic group has disbanded. He remains untraceable. And then it’s September 11, 2001. World Sales: please contact Naked Eye Filmproduction GmbH & Co.
