What is the point of trolling? Can sport be replaced by humour? Was there life before mobile? Would women be better men or would men be better women? What good is a flag when the wind is not blowing?

Das Wunder von Bern

The movie deals with the championship-winning German soccer team of 1954.

Der Zigeunerbaron

In the Temesvar Province, a landowner returned from exile marries a gypsy girl who is revealed to be the daughter of a Turkish Pasha and the rightful owner of a hidden treasure. Next to "Die Fledermaus", DER ZIGEUNERBARON is Johann Strauss’s most popular operetta. The libretto gave Strauss the chance to revel in such contrasting musical forms as the Csárdás and the Viennese waltz. The style of the lied forms and ensembles is so original and finely balanced that the "Gypsy Baron" can truly be called a comic opera. Among the leading names of the stellar cast in this exuberant 1975 film of the operetta are Wolfgang Brendel, Ivan Rebroff, Janet Perry, Ellen Shade, Martha Mödl and, in the role that launched his career, Siegfried Jerusalem as Sándor Barinkay.

One man's life through one man's life. From birth to the final goodbye. The oft-heard phrases we hate as children, use as parents, criticise as grandparents. "As long as you eat my bread...", "But at my age...", "I don't want to interfere, but...", "That won't get you anywhere with me...". Human games in the family as a child and as an adult, as seen through the eyes of a comedian who is a child, husband, father and relative. Pereputty, or emotional rollercoaster in the family circle.

This revealing self-confession offers an all-round artistic experience, making a visit to any other cultural event superfluous. This ambitious performance will include action, excitement, animal trapping (not sure), life advice and everything you need to know about 8 Bocskai Street. Laughter and revealing information for the whole family!
