Three men and a houseboat: Three crisis-plagued Stuttgarters sailed for a week on the Havel in the direction of Müritz. The unfamiliar and not so tranquil Dreisamkeit brings so many things to light, which has hitherto been successfully concealed and repressed. The summer boat trip paves the way to the realization that a turnaround in life could not hurt.

Three loosely connected stories: The relationship between midwife Rosa and therapist Marcel is shaken to the core by a cancer diagnosis. Wandering aimlessly through life, waitress Motte is horrified to discover she’s pregnant – by her best friend Neo, who’s not even sure about his sexual orientation. Finally, cleaning lady Layla refuses to accept that her ex, Navid, has left her for a younger woman. Each situation escalates on one fateful night: A gun is fired, a woman dies, and a child is born. ‘Without you’ – an expression that can be formulated both negatively and positively: ‘I can’t live without you’ also means ‘life is much better with you’. Director Alexandre Powelz maximises this interpretation to its fullest potential. OHNE DICH is a film both about love and its bitter ingredients, and the equally sobering, yet comforting certainty that life goes on.

Singer July relies on a donor kidney from her father. But first she has to reconcile with him, since she has been hopelessly at odds with him for a long time.

When Leonie, Emmas colleague and best friend, dies, she has to take over the nightwatch in the hospital. Emma doesn't believe in Leonie having committed suicide, as everybody assumes, so she tries to investigate herself. Doing that, she finds Leonies diary that documents reports of various encounters of supernatural kind. And all are closely connected to Friedrich Grau, an entrepreneur, who fell in vegetative state, when his little daughter committed suicide.

How to ride a mechanical bull and not care that everyone is picturing you naked.
