Warten auf Angelina poster
3.3

Nothing is more persistent than an unconfirmed rumor. And the less likely it sounds, the more seriously some people take it. Years ago, when reports circulated in the German media that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were about to take up residence in Berlin, the media were mesmerized and kept churning out new reports where there was actually nothing to report. Film critic Hans-Christoph Blumenberg has made this initial situation the focus of his film Waiting for Angelina, which, in the guise of a summery light comedy, takes aim not only at the media's lust for celebrities, but also at the trials and tribulations of supposedly "normal" relationships.

Through globalization, many countries have been opened and barriers removed to ensure easy trade, travel and cultural diversity. However, this openness has given opportunities to criminals looking to exploit the system and ultimately threaten our global safety. As Europe has become a "safe house" for criminals eluding law enforcers, a special kind of law enforcement team is needed to handle specific ongoing crimes on a global level. "Crossing Lines" is the story of one such team, made up of five international cops, headed by Captain Daniel. The team - comprised of individuals who have little in common - must learn to live and work under the most dangerous and potentially deadly conditions. Housed in an unused storage section underneath the ICC, this mismatched team faces bureaucratic, jurisdictional and cultural obstacles while traversing continents in pursuit of justice.
