Clara is a teenager growing up in a small indigenous community high in the Andes. Her adoptive mother, a midwife who took her in as a baby, has taught her the ancient songs used to guide women through childbirth, melodies passed down for generations, believed to bring new life safely into the world. But while her voice carries on this tradition, her dreams lie elsewhere: she longs to leave the mountains behind and become a folkloric music star in the big city.

This is the rambunctious, ridiculous and totally true story of how the Minions conquered Hollywood, became movie stars, lost everything, unleashed monsters onto the world and then banded together to try and save the planet from the mayhem they had just created.

11-year-old Yurko and Mia accidentally stumble upon a mysterious entrance to Otherworldly Kyiv, which has existed since 482. Funny mystical characters come to life in the center of a modern metropolis, and the main characters find themselves in the midst of magical adventures.

Claudio Gazzaroli immerses us in a fascinating world of silence. From crystal-clear alpine lakes populated by newts and salamanders to ancestral communities on distant islands, his camera fills us with wonder. He knows better than anyone how to put us in a state of tranquility and weightlessness.

Mit Büchern wie „Alte weiße Männer“, „Komplett Gänsehaut“, „Pick me Girls“ und jüngst „Wie kann sie nur?“ erobert Autorin, Moderatorin und Podcasterin Sophie Passmann regelmäßig die Spiegel-Bestsellerlisten und avancierte zu einer der prägendsten, feministischen Stimmen ihrer Generation. Debattenlustig und provokant, begeistert sie mit ihrem pointierten Humor, klarer Haltung und gesellschaftspolitischem Gespür ein breites Publikum über die deutschen Grenzen hinaus. Bis Ende 2024 war sie regelmäßig im Berliner Ensemble mit der Theaterfassung ihres Buchhits Pick Me Girls zu sehen - einer Produktion in der Regie von Christina Tscharyiski. Die von der Kritik gefeierte Inszenierung markierte ihr Theaterdebüt und ist mehr als Stand-up-Comedy: Mit scharfem Witz und Ehrlichkeit erzählt Passmann von Selbstverleugnung, dem Bedürfnis nach männlicher Anerkennung – und davon, wie sie selbst mittendrin steckte.

Teacher Fred and the rebellious teenager Adam could hardly be more different. Whilst Fred clings to her increasingly precarious but orderly life, Adam is trying at all costs to escape his past of care homes, school expulsions and youth detention. A rehabilitation programme brings the two of them together on the Way of St James to Santiago de Compostela. Amidst arguments, silences and unexpected twists, they are forced to face up to their problems.
