- In 'The Swap' two brothers run in to each other, for the first time in years, at the funeral of their father. In the past he brought financial ruin to the family through bad investments. One brother blames the bank that sold their father bad financial products, the other blames the father for being irresponsible himself. The pain the two brothers feel for the loss of their father, but also the difficult times they went through with him, translates into an ideological clash of visions on the financial world: Are the banks corrupt and pure evil? Or are they the only ones that keep the world going. The brothers go to Davos in Switzerland where they confront an important banking manager with their vision. At first this confrontation gets out of hand, but when they take the banker into their world, they slowly develop some mutual understanding. When they hide out in a holiday home during a 'Bungle up' festival, surrounded by young people celebrating and enjoying life, the brothers learn, strikingly, through the shrewd banker, what it is to really take responsibility, and how to get closer to each other.

- What does it mean to live in a neighborhood? What does the place where you live mean to you? Who lives next-door? In the summer of 2017, 140 people who live on and around Rosa-Luxemburg Platz in Berlin's 'Mitte' district were interviewed. These conversations were turned into a series of short films that provide personal insights into diverse lives. Behind each door there's a different story: long-standing Mitte dwellers, founders of start-ups, centenarians, globetrotters, those pining for the old East Germany, and students. There are people who have lived here for two months or sixty years; people who grew up in what used to be East or West Germany, in Latin America, Russia, or former Yugoslavia. A neighborhood full of diversity and contradictions. Some call it their home, others just the place they live, while still others think of it as a real neighborhood or 'kiez'. And yet, memories and emotions associated with this place connect them all as neighbors. For the premiere at the International Film Festival Berlin 2018, the spectators were led through three private living rooms of interview partners by a guide. Two episodes were shown in each apartment. The viewers were invited to continue the discussions initiated in the films with the residents before moving on to the next living room.
