Bingo im Kopf

Summary Pop star Mirko Mortauk delivered the party anthem for a whole generation. When he comes on stage, the loyal fans want to hear his hit "Bingo" and party like they did back in the 1990s. That was quite a while ago, so Mirko is deep in the career and life crisis. Not even his discoverer Siggi shows any interest in new songs. The well-versed manager wants to catapult his falling hit star back to the top of the charts with a rap remix of "Bingo". In order to work undisturbed in the studio, Siggi sends his burned-out protégé on home leave. At home in Sankt Maiwald in Bavaria, where even a street is named after him, Mirko should regain his strength. Unfortunately, the reception there is anything but friendly. Mirko's siblings and his childhood sweetheart Rosa have not forgiven him for leaving everything behind to be successful. Mirko gets support from his parents: While father Borko relies on extremely hard boxing training, his mother gets him a mini-job. He is supposed to prepare the local choir for a singing competition and lead it to victory. However, the rehearsals are anything but promising and Mirko's former fame as well as his history at home prove to be a heavy burden when starting over. Only when he feels again what music means to him and what the people of his past mean to him - his family and childhood sweetheart - does the artistic knot loosen. View more details

Los actores del conflicto

Los actores del conflicto

A trio of actors and theater mimes - made up of two Colombian boys and a young Venezuelan girlfriend of one of them - are commissioned by a supposed theater patron to keep boxes of books for him while his absence from Colombia lasts for three months. Shortly after the patron's trip - the three actors learn that he has been imprisoned in Europe for laundering dollars in addition to other drug trafficking offenses - and that he will be sentenced to several years in prison. The three actors¸ then¸ decide to open the boxes that they have kept for the man¸ assuming they will find dollars or cocaine. But what they find are very sophisticated weapons¸. Harassed by the economic situation¸ they make the crazy decision to pretend that they are guerrillas who want to reinsert themselves and hand over their weapons. To do this¸ they travel to a conflict zone and from there they contact the Office of the High Commissioner for Peace. The only thing they ask in exchange for their "reintegration" ¸ is a safe-conduct to seek asylum in Spain and start a new life there. To achieve this goal¸ the three friends would also solve¸ their old dream of going to venture to the "mother country." Obviously¸ this mischief puts them to face hazardous situations with the actors of the armed conflict in Colombia: the army¸ the paramilitaries¸ the guerrillas and the drug traffickers. As the girl is Venezuelan¸ and the relations between Colombia and that country go through moments of tension due to the supposed "alliances" between President Chavez and the Colombian guerrilla¸ the vicissitudes of the three young men are further aggravated. If this objective was achieved¸ the three friends would solve¸ also¸ their old dream of going to venture to the "mother country".
