- Michael, the young king of a small German realm, promised on his father's deathbed to marry, but instead of choosing any of the daughters of reigning princes his minister makes him visit, Michael looses his heart to Marie, the blond daughter of a simple miller. Worse, the chief minister, who learned her father's secret, hides Marie locked-up in a castle tower, pretending to the king she was killed by wolves in the forest, and threatens her family so she spins gold from straw; so Marie must accept the terms of the magical dwarf Rumpelstilzchen (Rumpelstiltskin in English), who appears when Marie pricks her finger to spin gold thrice for her, but each time demands a prized counterpart- first her beloved Peter's gift, a ring, then her late mother's necklace, finally her firstborn when she will be Michael's queen...
- In 1938 Paris, Vera von Schalburg, a young German with Russian, Danish, and Polish roots, is a very special woman. She speaks several languages fluently, has a photographic memory, intelligence, and presence of mind, and is callous. Except for her little son Christian, she has no one in the world. In order to keep Christian and herself afloat, she works as a prostitute in an elegant brothel. But then she gets an unusual offer.
- On 21. September 2013, telecommunications satellite APV-1312 belonging to French media group CanalDouble crashes into the Brandenburg Gate, cutting a trail of destruction as far as the Reichstag. 56 delegates die. Thirteen minutes later, all around the world more and more satellites plummet to earth. Communications, as we have known them, are collapsing everywhere. West of Geneva. At the largest research laboratory in the world, with a budget of one billion dollars, an experiment has failed that is going to throw the whole world off its hinges. Scientists from 80 nations have simulated the Big Bang with the so-called 'God Machine', the world's greatest particle accelerator, and thereby created a Black Hole. Reaching Geneva turns into a tour de force for our heroes, through a country that like its neighbors is in a state of total emergency, but equally into a time of human encounters. A time, where courage overcomes the fear and human beings do not shut themselves off but take decisive action. A time, where the end is a beginning, and where two brothers become soul mates again. A time, where weakness turns into strength and individuals are unified into a single nation. A time, where despair turns into hope, and loneliness into the love of a lifetime. A time, where one look says more than a thousand words, and even the smallest individuals become giants. Europe's darkest hour turns into a time of patriotic heroes. Heroes just like you and me...
- The Alps, the so called "Roof of Europe", stand for wild mountains, extreme lives, but also a magical world. This majestic mountain range connects eight countries and reaches heights of up to 4,000 metres above sea level. At a length of 1,200 kilometres, the Alps form both a connecting bridge between western and eastern Europe and a high barrier between southern and central Europe. The mountains act as a mighty water reservoir and continental watershed, feeding innumerable rivers that flow into three different big seas. Many peaks steeped in legend and history, such as the Matterhorn, the Grossglockner or the highest of them all, the Mount Blanc, tower above a sea of snow and ice-covered heights. Vast river valleys and huge forests cover giant areas, and craggy summits and rugged canyons dot the landscape. Despite extreme local weather conditions and the rapidly changing climatic circumstances at different times of the year, a diverse animal world was able to develop, which has adapted perfectly to its habitat. Eurasian lynx, griffon vulture, ibex and marmot are exposed to extreme seasonal fluctuations, from fleeting thunderstorms and landslides in summer to avalanches and frozen winter temperatures. The 2-part nature documentary provides insights into their lives in impressive images and shows the unbelievable variety of landscapes, flora and fauna that make the Alps a unique natural treasure in the heart of Europe.
- As a seamstress' illegitimate daughter, young Catherine Simon's future isn't rosy. But in the single-minded woman slumber unsuspected talents. At 17 she makes her debut as an actress at the Berlin Lessing Theatre, with unexpected success. The world is at her feet and dreams start to jell as she meets prominent artist Max Kruse at a premiere party. The two become a pair, but the newly-divorced sculptor isn't yet ready to remarry, not even when Käthe is expecting his child. They spend two happy years together without a marriage certificate, but her illegitimate cohabitation does not correspond to the morals of the fine Berlin society. Then destiny knocks again when she starts making rag dolls for her daughters.
- The first episode focuses on the warm months of the year and opens near the sun-soaked Mediterranean coast. Here, in the western foothills of the Alps in Italy and France, the Mediterranean flora and fauna meets the animals and plants of the alpine environment. When lizards in the low-lying olive groves begin seeking out mates in spring, the marmots are still hibernating in their burrows in the snow-covered higher elevations. But the time of the big rodents will come when the temperature gets warmer and the snow melts, because after a long hibernation they will dominate the high alpine meadows again. In one of the deepest Alpine river canyons, Verdon Gorge, the griffon vultures have already begun to reproduce and rear their young. Meanwhile, higher up, a golden eagle continues to circle above its still-frozen realm. He's looking for prey. One reason why the marmots have to be on their guard at all times. Frogs that have spent the cold season underground now re-appear and begin their courtship in the Alpine ponds and lakes. Warm spring winds drive away the final patches of snow from the mountain pastures. Millions of crocuses and other harbingers of spring that were biding their time now cover the slopes in a sea of colour. Meanwhile, the forests resound with the distinctive mating calls of the western capercaillies. Spring and summer are a time for courtship, mating, feasting, giving birth and rearing offspring - for everyone who lives and thrives in this extraordinary environment.
- The second episode examines the cold, icy seasons and the many hardships and dangers that accompany life during an Alpine winter. Rocks and ice, freezing cold, winter storms, deep snow, deadly avalanches and scarcity - there's no end to difficulties for the locals. And yet, every year, the survival strategies that have developed throughout the ages are successful, and life continues to endure in the inhospitable world of the Alps in winter.
