Movie classics in the afternoon: Heroes
During the Bulgarian-Serbian War of 1885, Swiss Captain Bluntschli, serving as a mercenary in the Serbian army, chooses to flee rather than face a “honorable death” on the battlefield. He takes refuge in the bedroom of the young, wealthy Raina—unaware that she is the daughter of Bulgarian Major Petkoff and the fiancée of the heroic Lieutenant Sergius Saranoff...
With an introduction by a film scholar.

Flashback - Film off: The quiet and the big sounds
Thibaut Desormeaux, a world-class conductor, ends up in a working-class town far from the metropolis of Paris after collapsing during an orchestra rehearsal. Diagnosis: leukemia. A bone marrow transplant is essential for his survival. However, when his sister gets tested, it turns out she isn’t biologically related to him at all. So, after 37 years, the cat is finally out of the bag: Thibaut is an adopted child! But he has a biological brother who can be tracked down in the countryside. The adoption of the two brothers was, in a way, a social experiment: Thibaut ended up in an educated middle-class household and was encouraged musically from the start—Jimmy with a couple who were kind-hearted but penniless.

Location
: Caligari FilmBühne,
Marktplatz 9, 65183 Wiesbaden

) The box office opens daily at 5:00 PM and half an hour before the event begins.
June 16
Exclusive guided tour 60+: Poison
Poisons are fascinating—they kill, heal, warn, and protect. The special exhibition "POISON" at the Landesmuseum Wiesbaden brings together nature, culture, and science in a variety of ways. In nature, poisons serve different functions: they protect against predators, as in the case of tree-climbing frogs, or enable the capture of prey, as with the cobra. Thus, Paracelsus’s insight remains valid to this day: “It is the dose alone that determines whether a thing is a poison.”
