According to true events, the moving drama "The Children of Villa Emma" tells of a dangerous escape that took place during the Second World War. In 1942/1943, the Italian village of Nonantola was indeed a refuge for 73 Jewish children who wanted to escape the merciless access of the National Socialists on their way to the "Promised Land" of Palestine. Director Nikolaus Leytner describes the dangerous journey as an exciting test, presented by a talented young cast.

Postwoman Liesl is a hobby detective investigating the village of Öd, a town with a population of just a thousand. While attempting to deliver a package to a woman from Schamberg, she finds her dead in bed. According to the village doctor, Barbara, her best friend, the cause of death was a heart attack. This explanation is also sufficient for the new post commander, Magnus Tröger, and the case is closed. When he transferred to Öd, he had hoped to have peace and quiet.
