Die Spökenkiekerin und das Fräulein

Somewhere in the Münsterland region of the 19th century, a shepherdess and well-known soothsayer - known as the "Spökenkiekerin" in Westphalian - causes an uproar in the village community with her seemingly insane prophecies. The mayor, in particular, is annoyed by her prophecies. He decides to have her chased out of the village. But a lovely young lady comes to the shepherdess's aid with her occult powers.

The Mayoress

Claudia Voss, honorary mayoress, is presented with a fait accompli when her Southern German district decides to build a refugee centre in her town. Some of the population are fuming and resistance grows, but there are equal amounts of willingness to help and empathy. Unexpectedly, the committed wife and mother attracts the attention of right-wing circles and faces attempts to intimidate her. The more Claudia Voss tries to mediate, the stronger the hostility becomes. A gripping contemporary thriller which paints a nuanced picture of the challenges brought by an increasingly polarized political reality. No exception, but instead a widespread, alarming phenomenon in today’s democratic societies.

Among Us

The story revolves around a crew member of a spaceship who is murdered. The remaining crew-mates lock themselves in the cafeteria after the murder to figure out who the murder is. The tension in the room is like crazy as everyone becomes suspicious. Apparently a mysterious virus would turn people into killers.
