Hitzig - Ein Saunagang

A sweat-drenched social satire in the ladies' sauna

Ein Schritt zu viel

Nicole Lehnert came to work at an escort service through her friend Inès. It finances her law degree. Over dinner she met the much older Friedrich Benning - rather by chance. Friedrich's colleague Lars Albers had booked the meal through the escort agency. Nicole likes the charming, successful banker who falls in love with her.. He rents her an apartment and buys her fancy clothes. Friedrich doesn't understand that it will soon be too much for Nicole. She can no longer concentrate on her law studies, does not pass her exams. When Nicole got to know the up-and-coming start-up entrepreneur Josch, who was the same age, her relationship with Friedrich cracked. The drama of mutual dependencies takes a tragic turn.

Im Speckmantel

When David visits his family for Christmas, a family encounter of an especially evil kind awaits him. Ironically on Christmas Eve, he realizes that his family has abandoned all sense of brotherly love and liberal values. They are afraid. Afraid of change, afraid that something will be taken away from them. David can’t handle the latent racist talk and shirtfronts his parents. The fact that his father, the very man he has always looked up to, is now spewing right-wing propaganda, shocks him. David cannot simply ignore it.
