What starts as a game turns into cruel reality which causes some participants' emotions to erupt with unforeseen intensity ...

Frida and her mother are waiting for the birthday guests, but they won't come today. As her father fails to return from the demonstration, Frida's mother slowly begins to lose control.

The relationship between mother and child, the natural laws of responsibility, and the protection of the weak by the strong seems no longer to be in force.
- "The Love Affair - The Computer and ist User!" is the third film in a little series of documentaries of "things" which changed the world. It is not a film about computers. It is an event. A multimedia event, which for the first time on television affords the computer the opportunity to reflect upon and study its "user". Indeed, in our film the computer studies its operator. Who is dependent on whom? The approach to this question is direct and innovative. A new graphic user interface was developed especially for the film, enabling us to cascade down the pull-down menus, leap through electronic files and prevent (almost) any crash. The innermost insights of an intimate relationship. Voyeuristic images of the computer and its user.

- Everyday life at the Dante secondary modern school is turned upside down when the pupils take over and decide what, how and indeed whether they want to learn. The experiment was originally planned for a single week, but it has rapidly grown from strength to strength. Headmaster Zander's ulterior motive had been to let the pupils find out for themselves that they would be at a loss to cope with so much freedom. The pupils however use their new scope to channel their energies into their own interests and develop a whole range of new ideas. The existing order at the school is completely reversed: the pupils demand that the teachers pay more attention to their own wishes, and even go so far as to mark the quality of the teaching. School becomes exciting again; whether it is hatching hens' eggs in biology or questioning grannies and granddads about the rise of National Socialism, the pupils enjoy it. But the potential success of the experiments is jeopardised by several factors: vindictive pupils depose Zander the Head and terrorise even the most well-meaning teachers. And among the teachers' ranks are a few who distrusted the whole exercise right from the start and now demand that Zander take a firm stand and put a stop to the disruption. But the headmaster has a hard task abolishing his own scheme.
- At the Senior Class of a New Middleschool in Lower Austria, currently the topic of democracy has been dealt with. Although the pupils have been divided into two groups due to the Corona pandemic, they should learn how to make decisions collectively as part of a class council. At the same time in a different location, covered chandeliers and offices wrapped in tarpaulins hint at the state of an abandoned pomp building. While empty meeting rooms and old lecterns are being renovated in the Austrian parliament building, the pupils find themselves in the new roles of their everyday school-life. What processes and conflicts are the young people confronted with, at a time when life as a class community is being put to the test?
- Gesine Meerwein is 45 years old. She lives with unpredictable pain attacks and has been diagnosed with "rapidly growing metastases". For the last four years she thought, she would have to die soon. With an open mind and a strong will, she faces her own death and burial and involves her friends and family in this intense experience. When the filming for this movie starts no one knows that these are actually the last three months of her life.
- The Bavarian Ministry for the Environment announces a hearing to discuss the final seal of approval for the Building of a nuclear power plant. 881000 people who have protested in writing against the building of this plant are "to be heard". The film documents the way in which, during this show of democracy, the last thread of genuine democracy is systematically debilitated and with it, the last remaining risk which could thwart the plans of the pro-atomic lobby.
- "Bleiben Sie Dran!" is the second film in a little series of documentaries of "things" who changed the world. Its around wathching TV and its impact on peoples live. The other two films are around car driving ("Mama Papa Auto - Ein Nachruf auf das Automobil") and computing ("Beziehungskiste - Der Computer und sein Mensch").
- Film documents from the past five decades prove that the use of nuclear energy - whether for peaceful or for military purposes - was made socially acceptable only by repeatedly duping the population. "The Eighth Commandment" (thou shalt not bear false witness on thy neighbour) shows disturbing pictures of nuclear reprocessing plants, giving a sobering insight into the history of atomic power: from Otto Hahn to VEBA chief Benningsen-Voerder. From the first tests in the Nevada desert to the catastrophes of Three Mile Island in the United States to Chernobyl in the former USSR. From political speeches to the civil-war-like scenes at the nuclear power plants of Whyl, Wilster, Brokdorf and Wackersdorf.
- The protagonists talk about their deepest feelings and symptoms such as dizziness and panic, their compulsion for washing or psychotic feelings of persecution in a refreshingly honest and trusting manner, or about everyday fears like the attempt to form their own opinions and the courage to think "egotistically" about themselves.
- The NUCLEAR SPLIT of the title has become a feature of life in the Upper Palatinate, a region in West Germany bordering on Czechoslovakia. Since the location of the nuclear fuel reprocessing plant was finally determined on 4 February 1985, many people have changed their accustomed patterns of life. In its continuing line of development and its thematic diversity this film provides a profound insight into the process of landscape and ecologic destruction; and it describes the intentions behind the construction of a nuclear fuel reprocessing plant in terms of atomic policies. Once loyal citizens have been turned into hesitant radicals. Women civil servants, housewifes and mothers all reveal their awareness of a political and social responsibility that extends far beyond any initial expression of indignation.
- This experimental film by Michal Kosakowski with music by KP Werani presents Uli Aigner's work throughout the years and illustrates contexts, developments, and affinities to other artistic media, above all music. Uli Aigner's work is distinguished by such interconnections within the various artistic media in combination with the artisan virtuosity that is so characteristic of the artist herself. Her art is always a proposal to the audience to enter a dialogue: to grasp the universal social aspect of her projects, drawings, and installations, to feel the intensity of her work, to get involved.
