She takes him to his swimming lessons and makes sure he doesn't get lost. Nicole is still underage, but has a boyfriend. Ulli is twice Nicole's age. Wolfgang, the father, is always on the road. He only spends weekends at home. Claudia, the mother, is overwhelmed with work. She doesn't leave the house anymore. But everything will change once Fiona gets there. Fiona is going to get up every morning, she is going to get everybody ready for this day, without asking if it makes any sense to start this day. She is going to clean up the mess they made yesterday and the day before yesterday and last year, the mess they left because this day didn't make sense to them. She is going to do that without asking why. That's why they got Fiona to come. So there would be somebody who doesn't ask questions. And that's what she came for. To claim this day without asking why. What happens in this house seems disturbing. It is a place steeped in an all-encompassing loneliness. They don't talk to each other. Homey family nights quickly become awkward. Only an older neighbor starts to worry about the young woman. But she can't prevent Fiona from meeting her fate. At least that's what it seems like, but until the end nothing is unambiguous. The routine, however, is set. Nothing is going to change.
- DirectorHannes LangAt night, a convoy of tractor crawlers rattle through the snow to groom the ski slopes. Just under 3000 metres in altitude, excavators dig into the ground using dynamite to build a reservoir for the preparation of artificial snow. Concrete blocks of apartments are springing up everywhere, while elsewhere in the mountains, young people have long since moved away and old people talk about how their hometown no longer has a future. Too many regions in the Alps have become dependent on hopelessly commercialized skiing. In PEAK, Hannes Lang observes the invasion and hostile takeover of the Alps by ski tourism and introduces us to the people affected: winners and losers, enthusiasts, sceptics and lost souls.

- DirectorAysun BademsoyThis documentary about "immigrant" police officers, comes from a German-Turk Berliner herself. She follows police actions in the heavily Turkish (dominant among many immigrant groups) districts of Kreuzberg and Neukölln. These are both home to now-third generation German Turks, Yugoslavs and others. But these "foreigners" started to inhabit this area of the former West Berlin over 40 years ago, and have in fact made it their home. In the 5th brigade, there two policemen of Turkish origin in addition to three other "of foreign origin." Here, in these two districts, at once the most crime ridden and also the most immigrant inhabited, the "foreign" officers not only face the obvious challenges, but must also balance the many cultural and ethnic conflicts. The film shows that their usual police duties may be easier than the constant battle they face against being a "foreigner" and a "traitor" to some, and the local, neighborhood law enforcers to others.
