In the Forest of Hearts, a little, sweepity, swoopity, swappity, sweet unicorn is born. But even though everyone is very lilacly-loving to it and constantly feeds it with sweet lucky clover, the little critter does not behave unicorn-like at all. It just keeps saying no, so soon its family just calls it uNOcorn. One day, the uNOcorn breaks out of its cotton candy world and sets off to NOWHERE. On the way, he unexpectedly meets a raccoon that refuses to listen (HUHcoon), a watchdog that doesn‘t seem to care about anything (SOWHATchdog), and princess that always talks back (PrinceYES). The four of them make a pretty good team. Because even being stubborn is much more fun together.

Heimsuchung poster
6.8

The film is set in 1989/1990 at a time when the "socialist" ideology underwent another major revolutionary collapse and the supposedly only progressive German "socialist", but walled-in GDR, joined the free West German society of the Federal Republic of Germany. In those days, the son of an East German teacher turns his back on the GDR because he is fed up with the eternal talk of the alleged superiority of "socialist" society and this "socialist" old day is nothing but dreariness and eternal gray everyday life for him. His mother, the convinced teacher and communist Christine Rautmann, suddenly realizes that her eternal propaganda of a golden socialist future is not falling on fertile ground with either her son or her pupils. She is suddenly faced with the ruins of her life as a teacher and mother. She herself becomes a seeker on a tremendously shaky social ground.

Christa and Theo Zerrback have been running a small kiosk in the Ruhr area for many years - with moderate success. Although Theo often argues with Christa, he is extremely popular in the neighborhood. Not least because he gives his buddies generous credit. Shortly after betting the kiosk's earnings on a horse race, Theo dies unexpectedly of a heart attack. Christa has to run the indebted business on her own, but neither her mother Hanna nor her two daughters Dany and Sonja are much help. The only ray of hope is the teacher and pigeon fancier Jörg Erdmann, with whom Christa falls in love. And Theo also comes to her aid: as an angel who intervenes in her life via a TV screen.
