The young, lesbian pastor Kalli Krause has transferred to the small village of Moorstede to escape a painful conflict in her adopted family. But the parishioners don't make it easy for her. And Kalli doesn't have time to settle in either: in front of the assembled mourners, her first funeral, that of the youngest daughter of one of the most influential families in the region, is dramatically disrupted by a strange girl. Kalli's curiosity is aroused; during her research in the Mecklenburg province, she encounters unexpected obstacles and hidden secrets.

With MIRJAM MÜNTEFERING

Inge Klottka (71) is living her dream of a women's shared flat on the Dykenhof in the Lüneburg Heath. Inge has always smiled at the fact that the Queere Facettenhof has also opened there. But this farm is very popular - unlike the Dykenhof. When she learns that its owner is celebrating the farm's tenth anniversary with a big village festival, Inge decides to throw an anniversary party too - for the thirtieth, on the same day! ...and in the Ruhr area, Kati (17) lives with her mother - and has never found out what destroyed her mothers' relationship. So is it fate that she finds an invitation to an anniversary party in the Lüneburg Heath in the waste paper? She decides to use it as a ticket to her mothers' past and soon finds herself surrounded by purple country lesbians and colorful queers.

With JOEY JUSCHKA

Brushing hair as an early childhood lesbian encounter, visits to the loo with and without gender confusion, children playing as a bestseller prevention? Flirting crisis, peer pressure and embarrassing drinks; plus estate agents with clothes racks, bawling women, dying fans ... All of this adds up to Berlin, a city that Joey Juschka observes and notes in her stories, in her own way: exaggeration meets humor, everyday life meets philosophy ... a queer view of the Kiez.
