Willi (Dominique Horwitz) has a very wealthy father who owns a bank. He has been given a great deal in his life. What he doesn't have is any respect from his family. In a last-ditch effort to get treated intelligently, he decides to rob his father's bank, but when a safety alarm is tripped and the police are well on their way, it looks like he has failed again. However, two of the customers in the bank suggest that he should take them as his hostage. From there on, it begins to look as though Willi has done something right, while his "hostages" mastermind the heist and subsequent escape in return for half the loot. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

In this entertaining and joyfully absurd children's comedy, an ordinary family wins Willfried, a very large white stallion, in a raffle and are then at a loss about what to do with him, since they live in a small apartment in a Berlin housing project. After the ad agency finishes their spectacular photos of the family with Willfried in the courtyard of the building, they leave and the family tethers the horse outside. But it starts to rain, so poor Willfried is brought inside and gets nervous on the stairs. Things go from bad to worse when the family finds out the ad agency will not take the horse back. The family brings him (illegally) by train to the country home of a friend, at least for the summer. But then what do they do? ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi
