Who doesn’t dream of being able to touch the clouds one day? Nele wants to go up in the skies in a hot air balloon and to take her walking-impaired mother with her. The 10-year-old has a lot to achieve – and always finds a solution. [38 DOK.fest München, Maya Reichert]On the balcony Nele is really close to the clouds, though it would be much nicer to take a balloon ride and be even closer. The plan isn’t easy to realise, as Nele’s mother has mobility problems. They need help with every activity and their daily life is co-organised by many other people. They are doing fine together, but a trip in a hot air balloon would be something else … [66 DOK Leipzig, Lina Dinkla]

When light pollution causes the night to disappear, a fundamental clock for life on earth is thrown out of balance. Animals and plants are threatened by artificial light. Many organisms have found their evolutionary niche in the dark of night and must now adapt to bright nights. Some succeed, but for many the brightness becomes a death trap - and causes species to die. Dedicated researchers now shed a new light on the effects of this nocturnal light on nature. Will science find solutions to the problem?

Insects are neither cute nor beautiful, but very exciting, thinks eleven-year-old Pepe from Berlin. His favorite animals are dragonflies, which control their four wings individually and can take off faster than a jet. And the bombardier beetle, which sprays hot poison in the face of its enemies so that it is not eaten. But where do these insects still exist and how do they live? Pepe knows that many insects are going extinct in Germany because their habitat is being taken away. He wants to change that!

To be completely in the moment of here and now, acting spontaneously and impulsively, these are some of Kilian's special characteristics. He was born with Trisomie 21. That means Kilian doesn't only look different, his way of thinking and feeling is diverse to other children. There are many things Kilian can do - he just makes them differently and more intensively. For a long time Kilian dreams of assisting his favourite clowns Gensi and Chistirrin at Circus Roncalli. When he gets the opportunity to do so, he goes on an emotional roller coaster ride between overboarding enthusiasm and the big worry of "will I be able to make it?".
I am Kilian
