No sooner has the little black cat rubbed the sleep out of her eyes than she is startled to discover that a huge flood is burying the old world beneath it. Just in time, she saves herself on a sailing boat, on which a thieving monkey, a good-natured Labrador, a sleepy capybara and a proud secretary bird gradually find refuge. It soon becomes clear that their differences are their strength and together they face the challenges of the new world.

Director Gints Zilbalodis (AWAY - FROM FINDING HAPPINESS) lets us drift gently through beautiful animal and water worlds in this magnificent story. Although FLOW refrains from excessively humanizing its protagonists, we encounter the animal adventurers in an incredibly animated way. They convey more emotions through meowing, grunting and barking than they ever could with the help of prominent dubbing voices.

With the Oscar, the Golden Globe and the European Film Award for Best Animated Film, FLOW has received all the major awards in its velvet paws.

With KAI AUS DER KISTE, a GDR children's film classic returns to the big screen. This lovingly staged film delighted its young audience back in 1988 and is now a true gem of children's and youth films.

Based on a true story, the film tells the story of the Mickenbecker twins Philipp and Johannes, who come from a strict Christian home. Together with their sister Elli and their friends, they set up the YouTube channel "The Real Life Guys", on which they present creative and often daring projects such as a flying bathtub and gain well over a million followers. When Philipp falls ill with cancer, everything changes: the siblings realize the transience of life and decide to enjoy every moment and really let it rip from now on. Instead of withdrawing, they want to motivate others to live life more consciously and seize opportunities with courage.
