Prinz Hollywood - Frederic von Anhalt

The painter Otto Dix (1891-1969) dissected and exposed his time like no other. The portraits from the world of the milieu of whores and suitors, of sexual violence, were a taboo break. His brutal depiction of war shook society - he was a ruthless chronicler of his day. In contrast, private life with his wife and children shows the gentle side of the provocative painter. Nicola Graef's film "Otto Dix - The Ruthless Painter" is dedicated to this interplay of life and work. Like few other artists, Dix used his personal experiences and experiences as the basis for his work.

Bulgaria has a uniquely fragrant treasure: nestled between the Balkan Mountains and the Sredna Gora mountain range lies the so-called Valley of Roses. The Damask rose grows more splendidly in the fertile soil than anywhere else in the world. The most expensive oil for the best perfumes in the world is extracted from it - in the poorest country in the EU.

Loneliness has many faces in Berlin. Young and old are afflicted by it, men, women, single and married people. It’s normal. Nonetheless there’s a stigma attached to this mixture of emotions that makes sufferers stay silent. Director Nicola Graef tries a different approach in her film: She lets the lonely inhabitants of the capital city speak, listens. The result is varied and quite often surprising.

At the age of 60, Lorenzo Ucañan continues to practice this ancestral form of fishing and heads the association that brings together the last remaining defenders of the tradition.
