Poor, itinerant musician Robert was born out of wedlock, his mother dying as she gave birth to him. When he takes up work at the farmer Hartmann's place, he discovers that the man is his father. Because Robert's mother was chased off the farm when the boy was born, the absentee father now wants to make things right and decides to make the boy his sole heir. But when Hartmann drops dead, Robert turns over the farm to his half-brother, so that he --- also the father of a bastard --- can marry the mother of the child and raise it in its own home. Der arme Wandermusikant Robert wurde unehelich geboren, seine Mutter starb bei der Geburt. Als er eines Tages an den Hof des Bauern Hartmann kommt, um dort zu arbeiten, erfährt er zu seiner Überraschung, dass Hartmann sein leiblicher Vater ist. Da Roberts Mutter damals vom Hof gejagt wurde, möchte der Vater das begangene Unrecht wiedergutmachen und setzt Robert als seinen Alleinerben ein. Als Hartmann tatsächlich stirbt, verzichtet Robert jedoch zugunsten des Stiefbruders auf sein Erbe, damit dieser, der ebenfalls Vater eines unehelichen Kindes ist, die Mutter heiraten kann.

Jakob is a klutz! He's completely useless as a blacksmith's apprentice and constantly trips over his own two feet. He even manages to stumble into and disrespect the village tax collector, who's robbing the peasants blind of their last coins for a robber tax (even though anyone has yet to see a robber anywhere!). The peasants thus decide, that if the king insists there are robbers, he's going to get them, because the peasants are going to start robbing. The king pays a visit to the village and is met by thrown stones. In the meantime, the blacksmith tells Jakob to go to Hell, because he's not good for anything else. As he walks through the forest after leaving town, Jakob runs into the royal party and almost sets their tents on fire. The drunk king decides Jakob must be one of the dangerous robbers and appoints him "royal messenger" to bring a message to the castle. While on his way to the castle, Jakob runs into the robbers, who take the royal message from him. When Jakob doesn't know is that the message states he's a dangerous robber, who should be hanged. The robbers, however, alter the letter ... to read that Jakob should marry the king's daughter! Jakob ist ein Tollpatsch: Als Schmiedgehilfe taugt er nichts und fällt sogar über seine eigenen Beine, tritt dem Steuereintreiber seines Dorfes jedoch respektlos-unbekümmert entgegen. Der presst die letzten Gelder aus den Bauern und deklariert die Abgabe als Räuberschutzgeld, obwohl niemand je Räuber gesehen hat. Die Bauern entscheiden daher kurzerhand, das Fach zu wechseln und von nun an als Räuber unterwegs zu sein. Den König, der seine Untertanen im Dorf besucht, empfangen sie mit Steinwürfen. Jakob hingegen schicken sie zum Teufel, da er sie mit seiner Ungeschicktheit verrückt macht. Im Wald wiederum fällt Jakob dem König unangenehm auf, weil er unter anderem schusselig Teile des Waldes in Brand steckt. Der stets betrunkene König schickt Jakob, in dem er einen gefährlichen Räuber vermutet, als „königlichen Postboten“ mit einer Nachricht zum Schloss. Jakob trifft unterwegs auf die Bauern, die inzwischen Räuber sind und ihm seinen Brief abnehmen. Der besagt, dass Jakob unverzüglich als gemeingefährlicher Räuber erhängt werden soll – die Räuber schreiben ihn kurzerhand um, sodass Jakob nun zum zukünftigen Ehemann der Prinzessin bestimmt wird.
What is the difference between a "broiler" and a small hen? Why is it called so "over there"? And how did it make it past the Iron Curtain into the stomachs of the Genossen? And what were those comrades thinking of with the names "Ketwurst" and "Grilletta"? Why was the coffee-mix popularly known as "Erichs Kroenung"? A matter of state security? And why did the best bananas go to the politicians and the monkeys in the zoos? This DVD answers such burning questions and other delicate BRD-DDR questions (or should that be "delicatessen?"). The authorities of the DDR were only somewhat successful in providing full tables for its citizens; but somehow, the simple people in East Germany always seemed to know where to go to get food and when. Or if even certain foods could be had: like tropical fruit and real coffee, for example: real rarities. In this DVD, people from all walks of life remember what food was like through four generations of socialism on German soil. How did they eat? Or did "social equality" exist only in talk, with the hungry socialist man looking yearningly to the Golden West for that Weissewurst and Beer?

Rather than deal with the surgeons involved, the movie focuses on two interns and two nurses. Suguro is the younger intern and the most self-flagellated of the group, eventually so horrified that he can’t continue to participate once the operation begins. Toda is a more hardened intern and more cynical about both the war and about medical practice in general. Ueda is a young nurse who decides to join for complex personal reasons, while the head nurse Oba holds to the idea that, for a nurse, the doctors can do no wrong.
Anita G., Jüdin, ist von “drüben” in den Westen gekommen. Mit ihrem Koffer in der Hand lernt sie bei Begegnungen mit seltsamen Menschen ein seltsames Land kennen: die BRD des Jahres 1966. Der “Abschied von gestern”, den Alexander Kluges Spielfilmdebut formuliert, ist historisch keine leichte Sache, selbst wenn man an die “Stunde Null”, die “Gnade der späten Geburt” oder das “Wirtschaftswunder” glaubt. Anita G. aus der DDR, ist die Personifikation dieser verdrängten Vergangenheit, weshalb ihr die Vorraussetzungen fehlen, sich erfolgreich in die bundesdeutsche Gesellschaft einzugliedern. Daß sie aneckt, ist nicht ihre Schuld. Wie sie aneckt, zeigt Abschied von gestern anhand fast schon dokumentar-ischer Szenen, die von einem souveränen Gespür für die grotesken Momente des Alltags zeugen. Anita G., a Jewess from "over there", has arrived in the West. With suitcase in hand, she has encounters with strange people in a strange land: the Bundesrepublik Deutschland of 1966. "Farewell from Yesterday", Alexander Kluge's film debut, is no easy matter historically, even if one believes in "Zero Hour", the "Mercy of Being Born later" or the "Economic Miracle". Anita G. of the DDR is the personification of this repressed past; a life "over there" which has led to an absence of the required prerequisites to successfully blend into West German society. That she offends isn't her fault. How she offends is shown in almost documentary-like scenes, which testify to the grotesque moments of everyday life in the BRD ... and everywhere else.

The only sympathetic friend Isabella has is a priest who, in actuality, is the Duke in disguise...and he has a plan.
DIE FLEDERMAUS (1946) * In German with no subtitles OR with hard-encoded English subtitles *
Filmed in the closing days of the Second World War, this 1945 treatment of Johann Strauss' Die Fledermaus is nothing less than a tribute to the technical and innovative genius of the German film industry. While the film is doubtless entertaining, I do not speak of the genius of its director or the actors, but the actual quality of the film: the colors are incredibly vibrant and spectacular; and that is no mean feat for an industry, which -- though often given preferential treatment by Goebbels' Ministry of Propaganda -- was just as much subject to wartime shortages of material as anyone else. Fans of this operetta will not at all be disappointed by the transfer of this story onto film; but even if you're not a fan, the sharpness, clarity and vividness of the production's color photography will satisfy you for sure. Theaterdirektor Dr. Michael Falke sinnt auf Rache: Der Gefängnisdirektor Frank und Falkes alter Freund Gabriel von Eisenstein hatten ihm während der Fastnacht einen üblen Streich gespielt; dies will er ihnen nun heimzahlen. Gelegenheit dazu bietet ihm der Ball des Prinzen Orlofsky, dessen Feiern wegen der zahlreichen schönen Frauen bei der Männerwelt überaus beliebt sind. Falke lässt Frank und von Eisenstein Karten für den Ball zukommen, wo er schon alles für eine gewitzte Verwicklung vorbereitet hat. Eisensteins Frau nämlich erscheint auf dem Ball in der Maske einer rothaarigen Ungarin, und genau ihr macht Eisenstein unermüdlich den Hof, nicht ahnend, wen er vor sich hat ... Als aber der Bühnenvorhang hochgeht und die neueste Operette von Johann Strauß, "Die Fledermaus", aufgeführt wird, erkennt Eisenstein, dass auf der Bühne fast haargenau die Ereignisse seines bisherigen Abends vorgeführt werden. Während Eisenstein noch über der Lösung dieser rätselhaften Duplizität grübelt, heckt Falke schon den nächsten Streich aus. Dabei geht er allerdings fast zu weit, denn schon bald fordert Eisenstein den Prinzen Orlofsky zum Duell.
