Beneath the decadence of 1929 Berlin, lies an underworld city of sin. Police investigator Gereon Rath has been transferred from Cologne to the epicenter of political and social changes in the Golden Twenties.
Dir. Tom Tykwer, Achim von Borries, Hendrik Handloegten · With Volker Bruch, Liv Lisa Fries, Lars Eidinger

It is the late 1950s. Flourishing under the economic miracle, Germany grows increasingly apathetic about confronting the horrors of its recent past. Nevertheless, Fritz Bauer doggedly devotes his energies to bringing the Third Reich to justice. One day Bauer receives a letter from Argentina, written by a man who is certain that his daughter is dating the son of Adolph Eichmann. Excited by the promising lead, and mistrustful of a corrupt judiciary system where Nazis still lurk, Bauer journeys to Jerusalem to seek alliance with Mossad, the Israeli secret service. To do so is treason — yet committing treason is the only way Bauer can serve his country.
Dir. Lars Kraume · With Burghart Klaußner, Ronald Zehrfeld, Sebastian Blomberg

Dir. Christian Petzold · With Nina Hoss, Ronald Zehrfeld, Nina Kunzendorf
