Anyone can hold a mini-DV camera. Anyone can get 99 euros in credit. And everyone has already written a five-minute story in school. So everyone is actually prepared to make a 99euro-film. but "99euro-films" is more. It is the proof that German films can also be wild, new, modern, funny, political and entertaining. And all that in 80 minutes. 12 young German filmmakers come together, inspire exciting young actors and go: have an idea and simply film it. Just do it and be independent.

It could have been so beautiful: after a long search, the aspiring architect Sophie has finally found a dreamlike apartment in an old building - just the thing to move in with her boyfriend Martin. On the spur of the moment, she signs the lease, but when she brings Martin the good news, the married head doctor does not react very euphorically: Although his marriage has long been over, he does not yet feel ready to leave his wife and daughter. While the disappointed Sophie is reluctant to move into her dream apartment on her own for the time being, her neighbor there, the elderly Hannah, is doing everything she can to remain to herself. With temperament and imperious assertiveness, she has so far managed to stand firmly on her own two feet. But in view of her increasing frailty, the grumpy old lady reluctantly takes part in a pilot project that, thanks to state-of-the-art technology, enables independent living within your own four walls. And lo and behold: During an accompanying computer course, she met the pensioner Friedrich Seliger, who met her sharp-nosed tongues with charming serenity. Even in fleeting encounters with Sophie, Hannah is brittle and rejecting. Until one day, thanks to her newly acquired computer skills, she gets access to the e-mail account of her young neighbor. The path to Sophie's mailbox is not entirely correct, but Hannah's curiosity trumps her guilty conscience. Reading Martin's emails, she realizes very quickly that he belongs to the kind of man who promises everything, but does not follow suit: he will never leave his wife. Of course, Hannah cannot reveal what she knows about the young woman's private life and lovesickness. That's why she uses a clever trick to show Sophie that by waiting for her supposed dream man, she is above all missing out on her own life.

Since January 2002 German troops have been based in Afghanistan. "HINDU KUSH" portrays Marcel P., a young German army officer, who will begin his mission at the Hindu Kush in September 2008. The audience learns about his motives, thoughts and fears. The viewers also get to know Marcel's grandmother, who does not understand her grandson's decision to go to Afghanistan at all. The film "HINDU KUSH" quickly develops into a double portrait of two different generations, whose stances over war strongly diverge: on the one hand the generation of the grandmother that has been traumatized by World War II and on the other hand today's generation of a youth that doesn't know war but instead has been experiencing the international fight against terrorism. In intense and dramatic conversations Felix von Boehm tries to reflect the conflict between generations and the abstraction "HINDU KUSH": Who are these soldiers that "defend Germany at the Hindu Kush"? What's their motivation? Deliberately not showing scenes from the army barracks and military practices, the film attempts to get as close to its protagonists as possible and rather wants to avoid the stereotype picture of a soldier's everyday life.
