Stunden der Angst
Glenn Gridffin, his brother Hank and Samuel Robish have escaped from prison. They choose Dan Hilliard's house, of all places, as a safe house.

However, the entire family - father Dan, wife Ellinor, daughter Cindy and son Ralphie - are terrified. They are trapped in their own home. Meanwhile, the gangsters give the order for everything to go back to normal. Dan goes to the office, daughter Cindy goes to the rendezvous.

Tadellöser & Wolff
The film depicts the life of the middle-class Kempowski family in Rostock between 1939 and 1945 in great detail and closely following the novel on which it is based. In addition to describing the special events in Walter's life and in the family, there are also repeated depictions of everyday life, such as walks with his father through Rostock, at school and in youth groups, with friends and swing music, at family meals and Christmas celebrations, at church or at the cinema. Father Karl loves cigars from the company "Loeser & Wolff," which always prompts him to say "impeccable, more impeccable, Tadellöser and Wolff" when praising them.
