TV post-war drama about a gruesome chapter of the Nazi era. Nadja Uhl reveals "wild" euthanasia in psychiatry. Oldenburg, 1948: For Margaret Oelkers (Uhl) and her two little sons, the pension is not enough as a war-wittwe behind and in front. But the authorities are working hard, not even because of their lack of credentials on the employment of their killed in the war. After an energetic appearance at the office, she is briefly put into the psychiatry of the Wehnen nursing home as a trainee. The consequences are bitter: one attests to their schizophrenia, takes away the children and brings them to the sister in the country. For a year, Margarete was kept in the hospital against her will, and forced to do so with electric shocks.

Väter allein zu Haus: Andreas
Esther Gronenborn
Tim Oliver Schultz, Gitta Schweighöfer
Andreas finds it difficult to come to terms with the fact that Stella, his husband Christian's niece, is becoming more and more independent at the age of seven. Stella has lived with the two men since her mother's early death. Andreas looked after her lovingly every day, which is why he has never worked, despite having completed an engineering degree. And now, as a full-time father, should he no longer be in demand and find an employer that his vita doesn't put off? Difficult. His father Herbert has never made a secret of the fact that he doesn't believe in his son's life model. The fact that the grumpy pensioner was kicked out of the door by his wife Liselotte after more than 30 years of marriage and is now moving in with Andreas and Christian of all places, harbors potential for conflict.

Hinter Kaifeck
Esther Gronenborn
Benno Fürmann, Alexandra Maria Lara
Фотограф Марк с сыном приезжает в маленький городок Кайфек. Случайно он заинтересовывается рассказом о страшном массовом убийстве, которое произошло девяносто лет назад недалеко от этих мест. Марк старается узнать подробности этой истории, но, когда речь заходит о событиях тех лет, горожане вдруг становятся подозрительно неразговорчивыми. Даже обычно болтливая хозяйка гостиницы старательно избегает этой темы. Возможно, Марк и сам бы забыл об этой истории, но прошлое само вторгается в его жизнь — по ночам у него возникают странные видения. Чем ближе он приближается к разгадке, тем больше жители Кайфека хотят, чтобы «чужак» уехал и оставил их в покое, и тем большая опасность грозит самому ему и его сыну…
