film world Mr Mux won't give up! for 20 years, he was as quiet as a mouse after the serious car accident in Italy, which is well documented in "Muxmäuschenstill" (2004). Who knows, maybe the world today really would be the way Mux actively wanted to fight for it back then: better, fairer and healthier. When he wakes up from his coma, Mux realises that a class struggle is more necessary than ever before. Any means is legal for him, from door-to-door campaigning to guerrilla methods by stirring up the homeless and children. And once again, everything is well documented in "Muxmäuschenstillˣ".

Screenwriter and actor Jan Stahlberg immortalised himself in the annals of German cinema in 2004 with the pseudo-documentary political satire "Muxmäuschenstill". Together with director Marcus Mittermeier, the Neuwied native, born in 1970, dedicated himself to the sensationalism of the media in "Short Cut to Hollywood" in 2009. In his directorial debut "Bye Bye Berlusconi" (2006), Stahlberg took on the Italian president in an intricately satirical manner. In "Muxmäuschenstillˣ", he now manages the hat trick: screenplay, leading role and direction - with a full dose of satire.

The 15-year-old is in love for the first time in her life, with everything that goes with it: highs, lows, palpitations and stomach aches. She feels all of this when her needlework teacher is around. She records every word, every look, but also her dreams and fantasies and gives them to her grandma to read. Director Dag Johan Haugerud embeds the dreams of the enamoured Johanne (Ella Øverbye) between cuddly mohair jumpers, cool free jazz and feminist humour.

From time to time, Grimme Award-worthy material can be found there, such as "Der Tatortreiniger" (2011-18) or currently "Players of Ibiza". In five 20 to 25-minute episodes, the makers - Bruno Alexander, Emil and Oskar Belton - take the reality TV format of dating shows for a ride and also put feminism, machismo and the use of testosterone to the test. Alexander and the Belton twins have already proven that they can master the seemingly insurmountable gap between mercilessly silly and "fully deep" with four seasons of "Die Discounter" in 2021.
