Villa Henriette poster

Twelve-year-old Marie has a very special relationship with the house where she lives with her extended family. Marie secretly talks to it as if it were alive and interprets strange occurrences in the somewhat dilapidated building as 'human' reactions and behaviors of the villa. When Marie's grandmother, who has been dreaming for years of making humanity happy with her environmentally friendly technical inventions, falls for a con artist, loses all her money, and the property is about to be auctioned off, the desperate girl tries everything to save her home. In doing so, she is not only 'actively' supported by the house, but also by her friends Stefan and Konrad. However, this is complicated by the fact that both of them want to "go out" with her and suddenly demand that she choose one of them.

Der Bockerer II - Österreich ist frei poster
6.9

Vienna, 1947. Bockerer and his wife Binerl have survived the war, though his butcher's shop was destroyed by bombs. Karl Bockerer opens up a new establishment in the center of the city. Post-war Vienna is divided into four zones in which the Allies run things and ensure that law and order prevails. This is the story of two lovers: Gustl, just returned form a POW camp, and the Russian interpreter Elena. Bockerer becomes the patron of their love. Elena's father was executed by Stalin, and the only way she can escape a similar fate is to marry an Austrian. Bockerer "buys" a husband for Elena and, full of tricks as ever, he succeeds in pulling the wool over the Russian occupier's eyes.

Ever had an idea for a film? Ever actually visualised this film in your mind? Or even sketched out scenes and camera angles? Plenty of film buffs have. Michael Glawogger invited 12 people to talk about their ideas for a film and then shot short fragments for them. The result is a crime-story-erotic-lyrical-experimental-vampire-fantasy-horror-soap-opera-splatter-trash-road-movie-melodrama posing as a documentary!

Despite its South-of-the-Border title, Caracas is an Austrian love triangle. Gas-station owner Gerhard Zehmann is saddled with cheating wife Regina Bill. The man would like to escape to Venezuela, but he can't unload his wife. Then he meets a woman who is the exact double of his wife (also played by Regina Bill, of course).

Are foolproof plans like these ever really foolproof?
