On a winter day, Walter Dahlman is getting ready for a job interview; he's an unemployed architect in Hamburg. As he leaves his flat with little time to spare, a boy of about eight stops him in the hall and asks for a ride to school. Walter doesn't know the lad, who says he's Yuri. The boy is persistent; Walter, who has only a bicycle, ends up giving Yuri a lift to school. The boy calls him "Daddy," and it's just the beginning of Walter's trials and tribulations. (imdb)

Romeo and Juliet in the Swabian back-country: Klara and Peter are in love with each other but nobody is supposed to know about their relationship. Klara is from Oberrieslingen and Peter is from Unterrieslingen - and the villages have been on hostile terms for centuries because they have to share a church and cemetery. Eventually, the villagers from Oberrieslingen come up with a delicate idea: They want to sell the church to a rich American - without their neighbours' consent. (filmportal.de)
