Immerhin: Die Kunst, die Kunst

"Anyway: the art, the art" follows renowned director Stan's theatre group, who are putting together a play uncovering the dark side of the pharmaceutical industry. Stan hires a psychotherapist Dr Franz. She is supposed to support Stan's actors and ensure that the production runs smoothly. Stan notices that she gets the team and the actors hooked on the drug Zyprecs in an effort to delude them into painting the pharmaceutical industry in a good light. The actors gradually begin to suffer a nervous breakdown from the side effects of the medication, but the premiere is getting closer and closer. As a medical consultant, Dr Franz intervenes ever more deeply in the production process and artistic work.

Blind & Ugly

Ferdi thinks he's ugly – but likes the fact Jona is interested in him. Maybe because she's blind.

Can love, which is supposed to make you blind, even work out that way? Director Tom Lass takes a closer look, shooting with blind actors and old Berlin buddies, acting the lead himself – paying tribute to a way of life beyond our way of seeing the world.
