Diplomacy

In the summer of 1944, Hitler gives the order to reduce Paris to rubble if it falls into French hands. General Dietrich von Choltitz is to carry out the orders and already has mines planted on the Eiffel Tower, in the Louvre and Notre Dame, and on the bridges over the Seine. However, Swedish Consul General Raoul Nordling steals into German headquarters to persuade Choltitz to abandon his plan.

Baal

Poet and anarchist, Baal lives in an attic and reads his poems to cab drivers. At first feted and later rejected by bourgeois society, Baal prowls around the woods and highways looking for alcohol, cigarettes, and men and women. He gets a young actress pregnant and soon considers her a burden. He stabs a friend and dies alone.

El honor perdido de Katharina Blum

During a traditional Weiberfastnacht (or carnival) party, housekeeper Katharina Blum falls in love with a young fugitive named Ludwig, who is on the run from the police after deserting the army and stealing money from his camp. After spending the night with him, she helps him to escape from the police and journalists who are hounding him. In the process, she turns her peaceful and orderly life upside-down until she is finally driven to commit an act of extreme violence.
