Synopsis:
Giving up-and-coming writers a chance, or better yet, two. The American playwright and later comedian Peter Paul Bergman wrote a film script in the summer of 1964 at the LCB workshop “Playwriting,” which formed the basis of Flowers is His Name. In this crime parody, detective Peter Flowers gets to deal with Nola, the “most beautiful and depraved woman in the world,” as it says in the opening credits: “Love is the material, ecstasy the action, today the time.”

Writer Uwe Brandner won the LCB’s screenplay competition in 1967 with a dystopian-experimental story, the filming of which was financed by Bayerischer Rundfunk. The idea: “What is generally referred to as reality, existence and so on is nothing more than a movie. We lead nothing more than a projected existence, we are nothing more than a movie.” In his search for the director of this reality, Blinker (Hanns Zischler in one of his first roles), a mixture of thinker and agent, is supported by Lizzy (Karina Ehret). Their counterparts: Berlin scene greats Günter Bruno Fuchs and Robert Wolfgang Schnell, who trudge through the city heavily armed and with a wry smile: “Fliege zur Linken wird mir ewig stinken.” (Source: Zeughauskino, author: Frederik Lang)

Synopsis:
Berthold Maschkara, 36, has lost the job he would have liked to keep. Even a severance package of 30,000 marks doesn’t make him happy. When he looks for a new job, he meets Thomas, who lives in the apartment hotel next door. Thomas is ten years younger and spent seven years as an air traffic controller in the German army. During his civilian service, he needs his high school diploma, which he now wants to catch up on. He, too, has 30,000 marks at his disposal, which is his replacement for his service with the federal government. Both are in the same situation. They have to start all over again. A little start-up capital could make their future easier. But they go different ways, which cross from time to time… The film tells what they experience in the next two weeks, how they lose their money and still keep going, two outsiders who have to realize that they can’t live outside society either.
