- DirectorSlatan DudowStarsAnnekathrin BürgerAngelica DomröseWilli SchradeSlatan Dudow's best-known and last completed film, a big-budget production featuring Angelica Domroese (of later The Legend of Paul and Paula fame), Annekatrin Bürger and Willi Schrade. The film ran into trouble with official socialist morality due to its frank depiction of sex (including nude bathing scenes) and portrayal of consumerism, along with a very stylized version of comedy.
- DirectorGünter ReischStarsErwin GeschonneckAngelica DomröseArmin Mueller-StahlEx-marriage swindler Ewald Honig arrives in East Berlin from West Germany in order to spend a quiet evening of his life with his daughter Ina. He is already in his mid-fifties. Ina, an apple fallen not far from the tree, is still trying to rehabilitate her cash flow with the help of a few gullible, gray-haired men. While he seeks to dissuade her from doing so by cementing her marriage to her next "victim," several women of advanced age make it difficult for Ewald to resist their own seductions. Searching for Ewald, however, is the Hungarian criminal investigator Johanna Farkas, while the criminal psychologist Dr. Achim Engelhardt is tracking down Ina; both use their own peculiar methods. And since they both do not know each other, Achim mistakes Johanna for his suspect. So this mixed-up love story comes to a happy end.
- DirectorRoland GräfStarsJenny GröllmannErika PelikowskyArmin Mueller-StahlWhen Dr. Schmith's (Armin Mueller-Stahl) proposal for international research on infant mortality is rejected, he decides to leave East Germany and strikes a deal with an escape agency that promises him a leading position at a children's hospital in West Germany. But then the decision is reversed: the project is approved and his international colleagues want Dr. Schmith to head the GDR section. He falls in love with his new colleague, Katharina (Jenny Gröllmann). Schmith initially tries to ignore the arrangements he made with the escape agency, but they blackmail him. Things soon turn deadly... As the topic of escaping to the West was taboo in the GDR, The Flight is an exception in East German film history. The film, which won the Grand Prix at the Karoly Vary International Film Festival in 1978, was the last one Armin Mueller-Stahl made at the East German DEFA studios. In 1980, only two years after the release of the film, he left East Germany for the West because of professional restrictions imposed upon him after he joined protests against the expatriation of the dissident singer/songwriter Wolf Biermann.

Herr Karjanke, the real Captain, learns of Albert's ruse, and wants to claim his "rightful" position in Parliament. But Karjanke cannot come forward until his politicking "Doppelganger" succeeds in passing an amnesty law for war criminals. When Albert is finally brought before a judge on charges of fraud, he learns that this own amnesty law does not apply to him.
