A successful divorce lawyer, Helena, who has been dumped yet again by her married lover and is alone in a bar with a bottle of wine, meets Bob, an inconspicuous petty criminal waiting for his next assignment. They are both 35, and by the looks of things, life and this night don't seem to have much in store for them anymore – so they rush into a drunken one-night stand. That could be the end of Helena and Bob's story, were they not to meet again by chance the next day. Helena is standing on the steps of a church in her bridesmaid dress when Bob walks past her with £15,000 of stolen goods in his pocket, which he didn't manage to get to the bank in time. What started as an afternoon together turns into a long, strangely magical Midsummer's Eve, during which they spend the entire £15,000, drinking, spilling, and distributing liters of alcohol, and gaining esoteric insights in a bondage club. "Instead of linearity, this self-ironic 'play with songs' has an emotional logic that delivers laughs of recognition every minute without drifting into sentimentality. Greig plays with the weighty questions that one should always ask oneself in life. Brilliant," writes the trade magazine Theater heute.

A summer night

Kannawoniwasein! There are days when everything seems to go wrong. Finn is traveling alone by train from his father in Neustrelitz to his mother in Berlin when a shady stranger steals his backpack and cell phone. And then he's thrown off the train by a grumpy conductor and handed over to the police, who make no attempt to search for the fleeing thief. Finn has to take matters into his own hands. Together with the lively Jola, he escapes from the police, and the two runaways make their own way to the "Tzitti." Along the way, they steal a tractor, spend the night in the forest, and soon pick up the trail of the backpack thief again.

Kannawoniwasein! Sometimes you just have to disappear (UA)

Beer, sofa, football - an average life. Suddenly, however, Death himself appears at the door and announces that this life will be over in three minutes. So far, so predictable. What was not predictable, and even less planned, however, was that at that exact moment his ex-girlfriend Sophia would knock on the door. A mistake in the operational process. From now on, fatefully chained together, a spectacular journey through life begins for the man, Sophia and Death. Past bars, motels and special people, their witty and touching road trip takes them further and further back to their previous lives and ever closer to the question: Is it better to burn out than to fade away?

Sophia, Death and I

Princess Turandot never wants to belong to a man. To deter her suitors, she has passed a cruel law: anyone who wishes to marry her must first solve three riddles. If they fail, they are executed. Countless men have already met their deaths this way. Nevertheless, Prince Calaf feels attracted to Turandot. Ignoring the urgent warnings of his father and Liù, who loves him selflessly, he faces the riddles – and succeeds in solving them! But instead of taking Turandot as his wife against her will, he now gives her a riddle of his own…
