- This documentary feature addresses the question of how gay men lived and could live their lives under 'real socialism', where GDR ideology considered homosexuality to be a remnant of bourgeois decadent morality and harmful to a socialist society. In that film we meet six men who talk openly about their social and intimate experiences, some for the first time, and get to know several individuals who could hardly be more diverse, or more contradictory. At one end of the scale is Frank Schäfer, a barber and a shrewd and resourceful individualist; at the other, Eduard Stapel, an academic theologist who founded a GDR-wide network of homosexual associations and upon whom the Stasi firmly set its sights. Even though homosexuality had not been punished since the 1950s, the conspiracy of silence, the condemnation, the pressure to conform to society and to sexual discretion remained. This story introduces us to a number of strong and - for all their pain - spirited men who were obliged to come to terms with their homosexuality alone, each with their own very different strategies for survival and adjustment.

When the two strangers meet, they are convinced to have found each other at last. "We know it is us", says Ida. Is it a happy end? Can history be overcome?

- Branson, Missouri. Some call it the new Nashville or the Las Vegas of the Bible Belt. Over the past ten years, nearly 40 theaters have shot out of the ground in this once sleepy Ozark Mountain town of fewer than 4000 inhabitants. Here in America's heartland, country legends and television and stage stars from yesteryear have reincarnated themselves and offer up good ol' patriotic, Christian entertainment to six million tourists annually. HEAVEN ON EARTH follows filmmaker Rick Minnich's quest to find the perfect America which Branson promises to be. Seeped in nostalgia, and wallowing in stars, stripes and neon lights, Branson is populated by such colorful figures as USO pin-up girl Jennifer Wilson, country music star Barbara Fairchild, boy wonder Matthew Matney, and, of course, Jesus Christ himself in the bombastic musical "The Promise." Mixing show numbers, interviews, and behind the scenes shots, HEAVEN ON EARTH weaves a dense portrait of the making of the American myth. The film climaxes with the largest Veteran's Day celebration in the United States, including a rare, chilling interview with General Paul Tibbets, pilot of the Enola Gay, in which he reflects upon his dropping of the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima. Still only a small dot on the map, Branson now offers more theater seats than Las Vegas and Broadway combined, and has established itself as the second most popular drive-to holiday destination in the United States.

- During the time of the Cold War the border between Western countries and Eastern bloc meant the end of the world. The autumn 20 years later shows a new picture: Fertile landscapes, exotic animals and energetic farmers, trying to heal the wounds of the past. This still makes the regions special and unique. The former no-go areas where life and economy had their own rules are now re-discovered as remarkable nature and cultural landscapes when the Iron Curtain finally opened. The documentary by Matthias Hoferichter goes on an autumn journey along this now green belt from south to north. Here, with hard work and new ideas, farmers are trying to utilize the forbidden areas of the past. While herb farmers in Bulgaria dry and proceed the harvest of the warm summer, the grape gathering is about to start in Hungary. In Germany farmers from Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania breed endangered farm animals and successfully built a new business with the sale of goat cheese. Autumn slowly becomes winter and while the Estonian cattle on the island Hiiumaa can still enjoy the last green blades of grass in the sun the reindeer in the far north of Finland already walk through snow. Right next to the Russian border the reindeer herders of the indigenious Sami still practise the reindeer breeding just like their ancestors did it centuries ago. But even for them it becomes more and more difficult to live in a traditional way only. The journey along the former border discovers landscapes and people which have experienced a unique history in the shadow of the Iron Curtain and offer the visitor a fascinating view of life before and after the opening of the border.
