Allemagne, 1971. Elke vit à Cobourg, en Bavière, avec son époux et ses enfants. Tous les ans, elle rend visite à son beau-frère Helmut en RDA. À l'occasion de l'une de ses visites, elle rencontre Gregor, marié lui aussi. Ils entament alors une longue liaison, ponctuée de brèves retrouvailles, une fois par an, au mois de juin. Mais la distance qui les sépare est d'autant plus difficile à supporter que le mur de Berlin divise l'Allemagne. Gregor se montre jaloux d'Elke, qui vit du "bon côté", en femme indépendante et fortunée. Puis il apprend qu'il n'est pas son seul amant. En effet, pour Elke, les sentiments n'impliquent en rien la monogamie. Lorsque le Mur tombe, l'homme blessé dans son orgueil doit prendre une décision...

The body of John Staffler, a well-known, successful lawyer, lies in front of the police officers. In his mouth: a red thong that definitely doesn't belong to his wife. At least that's what the former Hamburg criminalist Viola Delbrück and the Upper Lusatian loner Burkhard Schulz agree on. And also in the fact that the place where the body was found is not the crime scene. The investigation leads them to a country estate where Staffler apparently housed his lover. The trail continues to lead them to a young Polish-German couple, whose escape becomes more and more desperate the closer the two inspectors get to them.

The story is set some time in the past, or maybe some time in the future. Given a time-frame, we would say somewhere between the American moonwalk, and Coca- Cola's serious ambition to turn the moon into an advertising logo. Our central character, the young lift operator, is formed by experience into cynicism, detachment, and apathy. The story builds to its crescendo: of public outrage and state crackdown; the banality of commercial interest and the monumental rape of nature. Set in a large newspaper office, the Lift is a place of relative safety. But floor by floor, with each passenger in his or her tableau, the atmosphere of mayhem seeps in. Finally our young character leaves the situation, far-gone in hopelessness and disinterest.

Truth, Dare or Lemon is a game played by stupid boarding school kids who don't know what to do with themselves. Before Tim died he was the number one of a close-knit boarding school gang. When the friends engage in a ritual one year after his death a familiar game turns into a sadistic night...

Faced with staff shortages, the chief of a Cologne police department convinces two retired homicide detectives to come back into the force. As their immediate superior is a young woman, a generational cultural clash is inevitable.
