- The Nuremberg Einsatzgruppen trial of 1947/1948 is considered the largest murder trial in history against members of four death squads from the security police and SD (the security service of the SS). During World War II, six million Jews were murdered. Four million died in the extermination camps, but two million people were killed in systematic mass shootings. A fact that is hardly known today. The perpetrators came face to face with their victims. They shot at men, women, children - day after day, obediently and assiduously, as if it were normal work. Tens of thousands of Germans belonged to the mobile commandos of the task forces and police battalions. Who were these men, how could they commit such murders? What did the few survivors tell, how were they able to escape the mass extinction and live on with the horrific experience? Based on written traditions, original documents, film footage and photos as well as expert statements, the documentary traces the path of one of these murder battalions.

Her memories are funny and bitter at the same time, absurd and at times terrifyingly topical. The documentary filmmaker and journalist Torsten Körner ("Angela Merkel - The Unexpected") has succeeded in creating an emotionally moving chronicle of West German politics from the 1950s to reunification, intertwined with partially unseen archive cuttings. The images he has found unfold a force that allows cinema to be rediscovered as a place of political self-assurance. An insightful contemporary document that makes an unmistakable contribution to the current discussion.

- Born in 1971 into a bohemian, libertarian family, Winona Ryder - born Horowitz - grew up surrounded by books.

- He shoots with stars like Chris Hemsworth and Quentin Tarantino. Whether a manic racing driver or a Marvel villain - Daniel Brühl can play anything. That wasn't always the case. He became famous with "Good Bye, Lenin!" - and began the fight against the cliché of the nice son-in-law. At the height of his career, he is now venturing into new territory: his debut as a director. As a child, Brühl was already vying for attention. The urge to slip into roles came to him early on. Through his father's work as a director at WDR in Cologne, Brühl came into contact with the film world at an early age. Instead of attending drama school, he watched old film classics and soon received his first offers for television roles. One film will change his life forever: The tragicomedy "Good Bye, Lenin!". The film is a resounding success and breaks records, both nationally and internationally. Brühl is known all over the world in one fell swoop. He receives many awards for his performance. A blessing and a curse at the same time, because from now on he is only offered film roles as "the nice guy" in Germany. Brühl wants to escape the cliché and flees abroad. He reinvents himself under the direction of Quentin Tarantino and in the Marvel universe. Here Brühl gets to show a different face - the multi-layered villain. A role that challenges him and that German film and its audience have long denied him. Thus, his directorial debut 2021 is also dedicated to the theme that hovers over his entire career: his image, which he settles with in "Next Door".
- The Battle of Stalingrad, which cost the lives of at least a million German soldiers, Red Army troops and Soviet civilians, was the bloodiest of the decisive battles in the "war of extermination" which Hitler had unleashed. The annihilation of the German Sixth Army brought home to many Germans with a terrible shock the fact that, despite the propaganda which filled their ears, the war would inevitably be lost in the end. For both Germany and Russia, Stalingrad signified the psychological turning point in World War II. This three-part documentary, employing previously unreleased film footage and brutally frank statements from survivors on both sides, explains exactly how the catastrophe came about and describes the gruesome consequences of the battle for the soldiers and the inhabitants of the city.
