Annita 'Laila' Malavasi was an Italian partisan during the Second World War and one of the few female commanders in the resistance. She spent over a year in the Apennines, fighting against the German occupation. At the same time, she had to assert herself in the male-dominated Italian society. This film is a portrait of Laila and two of her comrades, Gina 'Sonia' Moncigoli and Pierina 'Iva' Bonilauri. It chronicles their experiences as they discuss the Resistenza and what it meant to them and many other women. This is a story of emancipation before and after Italy's liberation from fascism.

This savvy and sexy film opens with its heroine, Nabou, a black lesbian living in Germany, being unceremoniously dumped by her lover Katja, a self-centered, blue-haired, white punker. Nabou takes a job cleaning Kim’s apartment, the straight black woman who lives in the same building just below Katja, ostensibly to stay as close as possible to her ex. Meanwhile Kim, with her own melodrama to deal with, feels overworked and underappreciated by her boyfriend, who is also her boss at the ad agency for which she works. While at first cool to and seemingly uninterested in each other, Nabou and Kim’s relationship blossoms over time, even as Katja decides she wants Nabou back and Kim’s boyfriend pops the big marriage question. With its hip soundtrack, overlapping story lines, and satirical take on racism, Everything Will Be Fine is a modern lesbian comedy sure to surprise and please.

A high school teacher’s experiment to demonstrate to his students what life is like under a dictatorship spins horribly out of control when he forms a social unit with a life of its own.

In einem Tiroler Bergdorf lebt um 1815 herum die verwitwete Hebamme Rosa Kölbl mit ihrer jungen Schwester Anna. Zur selben Zeit, als sie der Bachler-Bäuerin fast gegen deren Willen bei der Geburt des achten Kindes hilft, ist auch der junge Medicus Gennaro Kauner beim Pfarrer im Dorf zu Besuch. Rasch ist zu erkennen, dass sie mit dem jungen Arzt viele Ansichten teilt, die aber für die damalige Zeit als aufklärerisch gelten. Eine davon ist die Idee des Arztes (und dessen Vorgesetzten) eines Gebärhauses, in dem Frauen in Ruhe und unter wesentlich hygienischeren Bedingungen ihre Kinder zur Welt bringen können als im Dorf oder den Armenvierteln der Stadt.

Die Unbeugsamen tells the story of the women in the Bonn Republic, who literally had to fight for their participation in the democratic decision-making processes against men obsessed with success and drunk on office like real pioneers. Fearless, ambitious and with infinite patience, they pursued their path and defied prejudice and sexual discrimination. Politicians from back then have their say today. Her memories are at once funny and bitter, absurd and at times frighteningly topical. Intertwined with partially unseen archive excerpts, the documentary filmmaker and journalist Torsten Körner (Angela Merkel - The Unexpected) has succeeded in creating an emotionally moving chronicle of West German politics from the 1950s to reunification. The images he found unfold with such force that the cinema can be rediscovered as a place of political self-assurance. An insightful contemporary document that makes an unmistakable contribution to the current discussion.
