Die Farben der Liebe

The successful Berlin lawyer and art lover Ulli Kanter surprises his partner Susanne Pauli with a very special idea: he has hired an artist to paint a large-format oil portrait of Susanne. Susanne is not particularly happy about this idea, however. Her unease escalates into open rejection when Ulli brings the artist home for dinner. It turns out that Markus Marberg is an old school friend of Susanne's. The catch: the chaotic Markus and the ambitious Susanne couldn't stand each other. When Markus also fills up the evening's entertainment with anecdotes about "achiever" Susanne, she has had enough. She makes it clear to Ulli that she will definitely not be a model for Markus. Ulli, on the other hand, finds Markus extremely likeable and even arranges new accommodation for the penniless painter with the cosmopolitan artist's widow Maria Kornblum. Susanne's teenage son Tobias is also totally enthusiastic about the new "friend of the family", not least because the creative Markus gives him practical tips on how to win the heart of his school friend Louise. Only Susanne reacts quite venomously whenever she meets Markus. But as the saying goes: those who love each other tease each other. When Markus jumps overboard on a pleasure boat during a summer party, Susanne rushes to help the supposedly drowning man despite her panicky fear of water. This dramatic event finally brings Markus and Susanne together. They begin a passionate affair. But then Susanne learns that Markus is not only an artist, but also an art forger - and that Ulli paid a lot of money for one of his copies. Although Markus wants to turn himself in to the police voluntarily, the deeply disappointed Susanne breaks up with him and confesses the affair to Ulli. Markus is sentenced to prison. On the day of his release, Ulli is already waiting for him outside the prison - and he has a huge surprise in store for the completely astonished Markus.

Two Weeks Notice

1 hr 41 mins
Harvard educated lawyer Lucy Kelson, following in the footsteps of her lawyer parents, uses her career for social activism. She hides any sense of femininity behind her work. George Wade is the suave public face of the Manhattan-based Wade Corporation, a development firm that Lucy routinely opposes and whose true head is George's profit-oriented brother, Howard Wade. George, who has a reputation as a lady's man, has had as his legal counsel a series of beautiful female lawyers with questionable credentials, they who have more primarily acted as his casual sex partners. Needing a real lawyer, he offers Lucy the job of his legal counsel on a chance meeting. Despite warnings from her parents in working for the "enemy", Lucy, who has no intention of being the latest in his bed partners, accepts the job as she feels she can do more good from the inside, and as George, as part of the job offer, promises not to demolish a community center in a heritage building as part of a development project near her childhood Coney Island home where her parents still live. Although Lucy is able to effect the type of change she wanted from this position, she finds she cannot deal with George's expectations of her, namely being his primary confidante and advisor at all hours of the day and night, mostly about issues she considers frivolous. As such, she gives him two weeks notice, although she promises to help George find her replacement. As Lucy begins to review resumes, George himself unilaterally decides to hire June Carver, a fellow Harvardite, but who seems to have her sights set on George as both a boss and personal partner. As June begins to replace Lucy in seemingly all aspects of George's life, Lucy begins to realize that she herself has fallen for George. However, Lucy's feelings for George and her attempts to re-ingratiate herself into George's life are placed into jeopardy when she learns of a Wade Corporation decision against her basic sensibilities.
