About Das Posthaus im Schwarzwald
The year 1910: When Prince Georg, nephew of the Grand Duke of Baden-Werrach, realizes that an actress he supported and loved was only taking advantage of him, he and his friend, the poet Dr. Richard Hebele, retire to his castle in the Black Forest. On the way to Kaltenau, not far from the castle, he meets Barbara, the postwoman who drives the Black Forest stagecoach. The coach is about to be replaced by a bus, according to the progress of the project.
Directed by Rudolf Schündler, Das Posthaus im Schwarzwald leans on a strong ensemble — Rudolf Lenz, Christine Görner, Gunther Philipp — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1958.

2003 6.7
In October 1989, the part of the West Berlin borough of Kreuzberg called SO 36, had been largely shut off by the Wall from the rest of the city for 28 years. A lethargic sub-culture of students, artists, bohemians and barflys had flourished among crumbling buildings. Part of that microcosm is barkeeper Frank, semi-formally called 'Herr Lehmann' by friends and patrons. He hangs out drinking, sports utter disregard for anything beyond SO 36 and lazily pursues an affair with cook Katrin. His lifestyle is gradually disturbed, when his parents show up for a visit, things go awry with Katrin and his best friend Karl starts to act strange. Meanwhile, political turmoil mounts on the other side of the Wall.
