- Im dänischen Ribe flüchtet eine junge Frau nachts in Todesangst vor einem Mann in einen Kirchturm - ihr Verfolger ist ihr dicht auf den Fersen. Die lauten Hilfe-Rufe des Opfers erreichen das Polizeipräsidium - und damit auch die junge Polizistin Emma (Zoë Valks). Gemeinsam mit ihrer Kollegin Ida Sörensen (Marlene Morreis) macht sie sich auf den Weg - im Kirchturm kommt es schließlich zu einem tödlichen Schusswechsel, bei dem sowohl Opfer als auch Täter sterben. Emma, die die Schüsse abgefeuert hat, ist sichtlich geschockt, will sich aber nicht helfen lassen, möchte am liebsten alles einfach nur vergessen. Entgegen allen anderen glaubt Ida nicht, dass der Fall damit abgeschlossen ist. Die Tote kommt eigentlich aus Kopenhagen, machte angeblich in Ribe ein Praktikum in der Altenpflege - was wollte sie wirklich dort? Und wo ist das Notebook des Opfers? Es gibt viele Ungereimtheiten. Auch Emma scheint etwas zu verbergen. Nach anfänglichem Zögern ist auch Kollege Magnus Vinter (Nicki von Tempelhoff) davon überzeugt, dass hinter diesem Fall weit mehr steckt.
- In the heathen "Rauhnächten" there is an unbridled exuberance in the former Viking town of Ribe. Chaos reigns even at the police station, where the conscientious patrol officer Ida Sörensen helps out on the night shift. At this moment, nobody thinks of the sadistic serial killer who kidnaps people and starves them to death in the forest. So Ida doesn't recognize Smillla Vestergaad either, who has been missing for days, was able to free herself from her shackles, now appears among all the disguised and drunk in the police station, but hardly gets a word out. When the young woman disappeared a little later, the policewoman found herself exposed to serious accusations from her older colleague Magnus Vinter. Ambitious Commissioner Olsen is certain that there is little time left to find the abductee alive. Regardless of responsibilities, Ida does everything to make up for her fatal mistake. In the case of an unexplained death 20 years ago, she suspects the starting point for the motif of the serial perpetrator, whose murders do not seem to fit into any profile. The fact that Ida dives into the past despite the greatest time pressure sounds completely absurd at first. The desperate policewoman, however, is not deterred and uncovered a tragic secret that was years ago and is now supposed to be atoned for.
- Alcohol: No substance in the world seems so familiar to us and is so incredibly diverse in its effect. Alcohol is available everywhere and this particular molecule has the power to affect all 200 billion neurons of our human brain in completely different ways. But hardly anyone calls alcohol a drug despite its psychoactive and cell-destroying effect. Why do we tolerate the death of three million people every year? Have we turned a blind eye to the dangers and risks for thousands of years? What role does the powerful alcohol industry play with an annual turnover of 1.2 trillion euros in this on-going concealment? The author, who himself enjoys having a drink, looks into the question why we drink at all, what alcohol does to us and to what extent the alcohol industry influences society and politics. He travels around the world from Germany via England to Nigeria to detect aggressive trading practices of the global alcohol industry seeking growth in new markets at all costs. He also visits Iceland, which successfully made the turnaround: Where 20 years ago hordes of drunks roamed the streets, young people today master their need for relaxation and life stimulants without alcohol. The film has no intention to point a moral finger but nevertheless will significantly change the drinking habits of the viewer.
- Volker can hardly imagine anything nicer than being the father of a daughter. On the other hand, after separating from his wife, he knows far too little about the actual life of 17-year-old Daphne. With the first father-daughter vacation, announced as a trip to Crete's dream beaches, he wants to change that. What the lecturer has considered as an educational program, however, fits little with the interests of the teenager. Clara finds her dad, who talks almost non-stop about the world of the gods, boring to embarrassing. The journey seems to come to a quick, disillusioned end - when Clara meets the handsome bartender Dimitri. An attractive holiday acquaintance is also in the offing with her dad: the attractive Barbara, of all people, is interested in the witty tourist. That could be very nice - if Barbara weren't the fiancée of Manolis, Dimitri's jealous uncle. When he finds out about the flirt, it becomes extremely dangerous for Volker, according to Crete's antiquated and strict code of honour. The expert on ancient drama has to go into hiding - but then suddenly Daphne has disappeared.

- Closing off a crime scene in the forest with a man's corpse - that underwhelms Ida Sörensen. Until the homicide squad from Esbjerg arrives, the patrol officer confidently expands her job assignment. To the chagrin of her conspicuously bad-tempered colleague Magnus Vinter, she begins investigating on her own. Inspector Frida Olsen is as astonished that Horik Holm was executed with two Viking arrows, as is the family background: The victim is the son of an underworld boss who comes from the tranquil coastal region. When Kort Holm arrives, he leaves no doubt that the perpetrator will be brought to justice. For Ida's colleague Magnus, the case is doubly tricky: not only does he know Holm better than he initially admits. A suspect, his own nephew Bjarne Vinter, is also close to him. Magnus and his colleague Ida must solve the mysterious murder and also protect Bjarne from Holm and his henchman Bech.

- In spring 2021, not many people would have assumed that Nyke Slawik's (Green Party) candidacy for the German Bundestag could be successful. On September 26, newspapers eventually headlined: "Nyke Slawik and Tessa Ganserer - the First Transwomen in the German Bundestag". But behind Nyke's story is more than just this headline. The documentary follows Nyke in the months of her candidacy until her successful election. Meanwhile, Audrey Dilangu (Social Democratic Party) from the small town Dinslaken in North Rhine-Westphalia and Lilli Fischer (Christian Democratic Union) from Erfurt, Thüringen, fight their own battles in German local politics. All three protagonists have one thing in common: they get involved despite of hateful messages, despite of sexism and racism in a so far male-dominated political world. Nyke became a symbol of hope for the international L.G.T.B.I.Q. + movement. Lilli connects being young and being conservative. Audrey, as a black politician from a family who had to flee their home country, insists of new perspectives and diversity in German democracy. GERMANY REPRESENT - YOUNG, FEMALE, POLITICAL shows the challenges our protagonists have to face in their political engagement. The documentary takes the worries and thoughts of the young German generation seriously, gives them a platform and conveys why so many young people are protesting for their political causes.
