A man migrates from Poland over Germany into the US.

Wanting to start a new life, 40-year-old Heli has found an institution in which she can put her younger, mentally disabled sister. Her three egocentric brothers have agreed to the plan and come to share their sister's final weekend at the house where they all grew up on the outskirts of Berlin. They find that the "baby of the litter" has turned into an unpredictable "monster". The fallout brings them closer together than they'd expected.

Manfred drives a Jaguar around Berlin and chats up women. Manfred is car crazy. He covers 100 to 200 kilometres a day and James Dean adorns his wall at home. He’s owned an MG, a Triumph, an Alfa Romeo and a Porsche. Now he dreams of a Ferrari. Shot over two days and edited in two days – Ferrari is a film that puts the pedal to the metal.

OSTKREUZ tells the episodic story of 15-year-old Elfie, who literally and metaphorically inhabits a no-man’s-land between the two Germanies shortly after the fall of the Berlin Walll. The film deploys a neorealist aesthetic to reinforce the difficulties confronting the girl, and by inference, Germany.
