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

This run-of-the-mill sex comedy is about a gym instructor whose prowess in the gym is better than in the bedroom. His maladroit efforts to please the woman he loves provide the comic fodder that propels this first-time feature-length effort by director Peter Hajek. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

When four young people move into a run-down villa in West Berlin, their attempts at converting it into an environmentally friendly place with a garden and a few farm animals just begin to bear fruit when the city notifies them that the whole place is to be razed - a modern housing complex is going up. The architect-father of one of the young women in the villa (formerly unaware he even had a daughter) is inveigled into taking up their cause and the five of them go to bat against the woman contractor in charge of the new development project. It turns out that the architect and the contractor had known each other before, making his task all the more challenging. Inspired by the commitment of the four youths, the architect installs solar panels, does a major rehaul on the house, hopefully enough to convince the city to rescind their order to destroy it. Time is running short, and the four youths gear up to face whatever may happen. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi
