Touch is essential for survival. A touch can provide a sense of security; it can offer comfort or protection; it can electrify and arouse. The sense of touch is the first sense an embryo develops, long before it can see, hear, or smell. A person who is not touched withers away—socially and physically. Yet touch can also cause pain, disgust, injury, and fear. This is the dilemma of touch: Everyone longs for it, yet fears it at the same time.
In Germany, the forest is more than the sum of its trees: it is a myth, the backdrop to a grand German drama. When one looks at German cultural history, it is easy to recognize the forest as a recurring theme—and as a topos to which people repeatedly returned in their search for a national identity. German culture, it is said, has its roots in the forest, at least since Germanic warriors defeated the Romans in the Battle of Varus. During the Romantic era, the forest became a place of longing; it was painted, written about in poetry, and celebrated in song—and at the same time, it once again became a symbol of national sovereignty. The Nazis exploited it for their racist ideology—and the “homeland films” of postwar German cinema used it to portray their idealized vision of an unspoiled world. The environmental movement of the 1980s feared for its national sanctuary during the debate on forest dieback—and activists lived in the highest treetops to protect trees from being cut down.
Wolfgang Joop and his daughter Jette are among Germany’s most prominent designers. Both regularly make headlines. Wolfgang: the eternal boy, the “child prodigy,” the fashion genius, the artist. No matter what he does, he fascinates and polarizes in equal measure. Jette leverages her name in the marketplace with business acumen and shrewd calculation. She makes millions with her designs, whether in jewelry, fashion, or simply home goods. On the red carpet, she presents herself as a femme fatale to strengthen her brand. “The public eye is my destiny,” she says. Father and daughter—two strong personalities who constantly clash. Yet they are united by their creativity and the daring to constantly reinvent themselves. The future will show whether the Joops will remain a design dynasty, whether the legacy will continue into the third generation—and whether father and daughter can finally make peace.
He is considered the richest German, yet he is arguably the most mysterious billionaire: Dieter Schwarz. Most people are familiar with his Lidl discount stores, but he himself is regarded as a phantom. Who is behind the discount store empire? How did the corporate group come into being? What is legend, and what is truth? This documentary tells the story of Lidl, which holds a few surprises. A fascinating family portrait. While researching in archives, filmmakers Annebeth Jacobsen and Frank Diederichs came across previously unpublished documents that offer insights into the history of the corporate group and the lives of its family members.
The docudrama addresses the global threat posed by antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

It is the fashion retailer that has shaped the lifestyle of millions of Germans over decades like no other. With 456 stores, it can be found in every major city in Germany, and 98 percent of Germans are familiar with the brand: C&A. Yet very few people know that behind this success lies a large family: the Brenninkmeyer family. With an estimated fortune of more than 25 billion euros, they rank among the wealthiest families in Europe. Yet the public knows almost nothing about this family of entrepreneurs.
The numbers speak for themselves: One in seven jobs in Germany depends directly or indirectly on the automotive industry; without it, our economy would be very different. Full employment, just ten years after World War II, would have been almost unimaginable without the boom in this industry. And the Volkswagen Group remains at the heart of this key industry to this day: approximately 600,000 employees, 200 billion euros in revenue, and 120 factories. VW is the world’s largest automaker.
