The American friend (Der Amerikanische Freund)
Synopsis: An American expat to Tom (Dennis Hopper) decides to be part of an attempted murder to earn extra money. All that Tom needs to do to earn his part is finding a potential killer who won’t open his mouth.

Jonathan is far from being a rental gunman and the plan does not come out exactly as expected
The State of Things (Der stand der dinge)

Synopsis: Phillip is a sound engineer who goes to Lisbon to help his old friend Friedrich complete his movie. It crosses Europe from north to south, to the Portuguese capital, but arrives late: Friedrich has disappeared. In the big house where he lived, his friend left no more than an unfinished movie, containing images without sound, filmed on the streets of Lisbon. Patiently, Winter decides to put the sound in the images and, fascinated with the beauty of the place, decides to be a little more and explore the region. That’s when she meets Teresa, the beautiful singer of the Madredeus group, who soon falls in love. But new surprises await him with Friedrich’s sudden reappearance.
