When Adolf Hitler reawakens at the site of his former bunker in present-day Berlin, he is mistaken for a comedian and quickly becomes a media phenomenon.

When 22-year-old Rainer Werner Fassbinder storms the stage of a small, progressive theatre in Munich 1967, and seizes the production without further ado, nobody suspects this brazen young rebel to become one of the most important post-war German filmmakers. Despite early setbacks, many of his films breakout at the most renowned films festivals and polarise audience, critics and filmmakers alike. His radical views and self-exploitation, as well as his longing for love, have made him one of the most fascinating film directors of this time.

Buba heißt eigentlich Jakob Otto und hat ein Problem: Immer wenn es ihm zu gut geht, passiert kurz darauf irgendetwas Schreckliches. Seit dem tragischen Unfalltod seiner Eltern glaubt Jakob fest daran, alle guten Gefühle in seinem Leben ausgleichen zu müssen. Gemeinsam mit seinem Bruder Dante hat er deshalb ein System entwickelt, um seinen Alltag so unangenehm wie möglich zu gestalten.

2009 film directed by Michael Glawogger
