Die Erntehelferin

Germany, 1946: The war has exhausted the country, unemployment and hunger determine people's everyday lives. The Sudeten German Clara also feels the hardship. She had to flee Marienbad and was forcibly quartered in an Upper Franconian village with her war-disabled brother-in-law Johann. The locals' rejection of the "refugee pack" is not their only concern. Six-year-old Heidi, one of the four children Clara looks after after her sister's death, has tuberculosis and urgently needs medication. In order to be able to pay the black market price, Clara applies as a seasonal worker on the cherry orchard at Gut Braunfels. She is lucky because her great love Martin, whom she had to leave seven years ago because of the children, works here as an administrator and selects her from a large number of applicants. The work is hard, but Clara is tough and her love for Martin gives her strength. Both dream of a future together, but their plans are suddenly thwarted: the wealthy landowner Andreas von Braunfels longs for an heir, but his ailing wife Ariane can no longer have children after three miscarriages. Von Braunfels' interest in the self-confident Clara, who refuses to be intimidated and climbs to the highest treetops even in wind and rain, quickly arouses the envy of the other harvest workers. When a colleague steals her hard-earned wages, von Braunfels makes Clara an immoral offer that could save Heidi: He wants Clara to give him an heir and offers her 20,000 Reichsmarks in return. Clara has no choice - but if she accepts the offer, she will lose Martin forever.

The Passion of the Christ

2 hr 7 mins
A depiction of the last twelve hours in the life of Jesus of Nazareth, on the day of his crucifixion in Jerusalem. The story opens in the Garden of Olives where Jesus has gone to pray after the Last Supper. Betrayed by Judas Iscariot, the controversial Jesus - who has performed 'miracles' and has publicly announced that he is 'the Son of God' - is arrested and taken back within the city walls of Jerusalem. There, the leaders of the Pharisees confront him with accusations of blasphemy; subsequently, his trial results with the leaders condemning him to his death. Jesus is brought before Pontius Pilate, the prefect of the Roman province of Judaea, for his sentencing. Pilate listens to the accusations leveled at Jesus by the Pharisees. Realizing that his own decision will cause him to become embroiled in a political conflict, Pilate defers to King Herod in deciding the matter of how to persecute Jesus. However, Herod returns Jesus to Pilate who, in turn, gives the crowd a choice between which prisoner they would rather to see set free - Jesus, or Barabbas. The crowd chooses to have Barabbas set free. Thus, Jesus is handed over to the Roman soldiers and is brutally flagellated. Bloody and unrecognizable, he is brought back before Pilate who, once again, presents him to the thirsty crowd - assuming they will see that Jesus has been punished enough. The crowd, however, is not satisfied. Thus, Pilate washes his hands of the entire dilemma, ordering his men to do as the crowd wishes. Whipped and weakened, Jesus is presented with the cross and is ordered to carry it through the streets of Jerusalem, all the way up to Golgotha. There, more corporal cruelty takes place as Jesus is nailed to the cross-suffering, he hangs there, left to die. Initially, in his dazed suffering, Jesus is alarmed that he has been abandoned by God his father. He then beseeches God. At the moment of his death, nature itself over-turns.
