Das kleine und das große Glück
Martin Hellberg
Susanne Düllmann, Wilfried Ortmann
Швальк, новый начальник дорожно-строительной бригады, является смельчаком и привык к успеху — как на работе, так и у женщин. Но на этот раз не всё так гладко. Сначала ему было легко с бригадиром Эрикой, которая влюбилась в него, но на работе случился скандал. Его стремление выиграть соревнование привело к браку в работе. Эрика возмущена его эгоистичным поведением, и она также подозревает, что он ищет только любовного приключения с ней. Она отворачивается от него. Однако, Швальк признаёт свои ошибки и делает всё возможное, чтобы возместить ущерб — как на работе, так и в отношениях с Эрикой. Дорога будет сдана вовремя. И Эрика, и Швальк взаимно счастливы.

Betrogen bis zum jüngsten Tag
Kurt Jung-Alsen
Rudolf Ulrich, Wolfgang Kieling
East Germany's contribution to the 1957 Cannes Film Festival was the wartime melodrama Betrogen bis zum Juengsten Tag. Had the film been released in the U.S., the title would probably have translated to Duped Till the Last. The film condemns the Nazi mindset by concentrating on a particularly odious cover-up. When his son is involved in the accidental killing of a girl, a Gestapo general pulls strings to save the boy from prosecution. The general manages to pin the blame for the killing on a group of Russians, whereupon he gives the men under his command carte blanche to round up and execute as many innocent Russians as they wish. This act of brutality is contrasted with the pangs of guilt suffered by the son and his co-conspirators.
Duped Till Doomsday
Der Teufel vom Mühlenberg
Herbert Ballmann
Eva Kotthaus, Hans-Peter Minetti
This film is set in a medieval mill town in the Harz mountains. The greedy and brutal millman and his accomplices, the castle steward and the mayor, set fire to a forest mill that the farmers used for processing their grain. Without their mill, the farmers must now rely on the millman's services. When the farmhand Anna uncovers the millman’s crimes, he swiftly detains her and a young miller, Jörg. The forest spirits have a different plan, however, and they free the young couple with the charge to rebuild the ruined forest mill and turn things around for the villagers.
