Olha and her sister Anna were born in Kyiv and live in Berlin. They are in contact with friends and relatives in Ukraine and visit them several times a year - until the war comes.
Then the friends Mark and Mattvii and their family are in front of their door and need a place to stay. Olha and Anna take care, but they can't really be happy because the boys are only here for one reason. And how long they have to stay is uncertain.

It is the story of 12 year old Marian, who prefers nothing more than to deal with birds of all kinds. Marian likes birds that sing beautifully. But then he met a wild Waldrapp - an ibis species that was considered extinct in Europece since 500 years. That was the trigger for Marian's passion for the bald ibis.
He has not seen it again in the wild, but the bird is part of a rearing project that aims to reintroduce it to its breeding grounds north of the Alps and its winter habitat in Tuscany. The birds will be trained for the first flights on their old routes over the Alps. Marian helps as often as he can. And hopes that one day he will be there when everyone takes off together towards their winter quarters.

This is a pangolin. The most trafficked mammal in the world. Before you get to know what a pangolin is, it will most probably already be extinct. Please help to rescue the pangolin by financing our film. Get in contact with info@pangolin-doxx.com (Pangolin Doxx Films). A pangolin foetus soup is supposed to increase or enhance male virility. The scales are used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat rheumatism and arthritis. However, the success of these treatments has not been proven!
World pangolin day is on 18 February 2017!

The film Jonas larger than life by Bernadette Hauke was nominated for the Grimme Award 2016.
Jonas is short-lived from birth. With his twelve years he has just reached 1.20 meters. When Jonas is grown up, he will be at most 1.40 meters tall. No easy situation for the charming and lifeless boy. But nothing can bring Jonas down. In many everyday situations he has developed his own strategies. With his "pinguin technique" he can not fall down the stairs. In the meantime, he is no longer annoyed when other people stare at him. The twelve-year-old has not been intimidated for a long time.
