- Immediately after his arrival in Milan, where he intends to spend a study visit, SEBASTIAN, a Jesuit novice from Munich, falls victim to a pair of under-age tricksters. SEBASTIAN tracks down the young thieves and is horrified to discover a criminal organisation that kidnaps children from all over Europe and subsequently trains them to become thieves and robbers. The two children who have robbed SEBASTIAN, 12-year-old LAURA and her 14-year-old brother LUIS, are also members of a children's gang. SEBASTIAN leaves no stone unturned to get in touch with them and to save them and their friend THIERRY-BIBI from disaster. He soon discovers the leaders of the gang to be unscrupu-lous criminals who will stop at no act of violence. For no sooner do they realize that SEBASTIAN is on their trail than they try to kill him. But the young monk does not give up easily. Together with GIULIANA, the niece of a Milanese Monsignore, he imperturbably traces the children. He is able to win LAURA's confidence in a relatively short time, but he has no idea that he is thus exposing the children to great danger.

He is told that she will have to suffer for it if he does not work successfully. Not until they have undergone numerous adventures, which even take them to Munich, is SEBASTIAN able to give the police convincing proof that the criminals must be arrested.

So LAURA and LUIS decide, together with their friend THIERRY-BIBI, to lead an independent life together.They leave Munich, LUIS's mother and SEBASTIAN, to whom they owe their liberty. One day, SEBASTIAN learns that the children are now living in the south of France, where they are earning their living in a legal manner: LAURA sells homemade jewellery on the beach, and LUIS is working for a horse breeder in the Camargue. SEBASTIAN has to admit to himself that there is a lot about life and happiness he doesn't know. He is no longer sure whether being a monk is the right thing for him. He knows he needs time to come to a decision and asks for leave of absence from his order. But he also knows that one day he will meet his friends LAURA and LUIS again and that he is very much looking forward to this meeting.

- Three years after the end of the Second World War, Europe is once again on an historic threshold. Will the continent finally find lasting peace? Will people's hopes for a better future be fulfilled? The allies of yesterday have become the enemies of today. An Iron Curtain separates East and West, communism and capitalism. It looks as if the curtain will remain down for a long time. The first half of 1948 brings decisive turning points: a Communist coup in Prague, the consolidation of Stalin's power in Eastern Europe, in Yugoslavia the break between Tito and Stalin, and a crisis in Berlin that becomes a test of power and takes the world to the brink of a new great war. The Jews of Europe find a new home in Israel. The spring of 48 will continue to have an effect for decades to come. Contemporary witnesses such as the Frenchman Marc Ferro, the German Günter Lamprecht or the Russian Maja Turowskaja tell of their experiences in crisis-ridden post-war France, of the hope for a democratic awakening in Czechoslovakia, of Stalinism in Moscow. There is a phase of euphoria in socialist Yugoslavia and the fear of a new war among the Berliners, who have just cleared away the rubble. Texts by contemporary authors such as Anna Seghers and Simone de Beauvoir lead us into this period of uncertainty and search for orientation. Rarely shown archive material shows a year in which decisive decisions were made for the future of the continent.

- Featuring one of the era's most beloved male idols, Hans Albers, as the doctor losing control of his dark side, is Viktor Turzanskij's rarely-screened Jekyll-and-Hyde version Vom Teufel gejagt. For added depth and relevance, a colleague who, years before, had assumed the doctor's guilt when an experiment went badly returns to continue their earlier research-besides, his name is tarnished anyway, where else could he go? It's difficult to not see this very elegantly dispassionate piece (a curious predecessor to the soon rising Arztfilm-wave) as an attempt to discuss its star's and auteur's involvement with the Nazi-era film industry: Albers starred in Herbert Selpin's world-weary anti-British epopee Carl Peters (1941), and Turzanskij directed (and co-wrote) the edgy anti-Polish, anti-labor drama Feinde (1940).
