Günther Kurth

Finally out again. The attempt to cheat his boss out of a truckload cost haulage driver Oswald a year of his life and his job. Now it's back home to the prefabricated building. It's just in time that Oswald's buddy Karl knows about trophies made from old D-Mark coins. In the iron foundry on the outskirts of the city, old coins worth several hundred thousand Deutschmarks are regularly stored for further processing - virtually unguarded. As the old coins can still be exchanged, this is a small but sure coup. While Karl is still laughing at Oswald's naivety, he is already beginning to put his plan into action. In a series of tragic and absurd situations, he recruits a team that couldn't be more different, from doped athletes to hated ex-Stasi men. They are united by their desire to use the money to make a difference.

Production of the State Opera Dresden 1989, directed by Joachim Herz

The long-term documentary about Kalle, a boy from the prefabricated housing projects along the Allee of the Cosmonauts, paints a different picture of Berlin: “Poor” is not “sexy” here, it means: bad opportunities. The directing duo respectfully accompanies Kalle and leaves the charismatic boy to speak, supplementing scenes with animated sequences where background knowledge is meaningful.
