It's safer that way. There's less chance of her getting hurt. But Millie does have an outlet: her draft emails. She never sends them. Never would. They live in her drafts, where nobody can read them and nobody gets hurt - especially, not her. But after a server outage at work, Millie wakes up on a normal-seeming Wednesday morning to find that all of her emails have been sent. Every. Single. One.

Наталка Полтавка Івана Котляревського — це романтично-сатирична п'єса про любов і вірність. Наталка і Петро кохають одне одного, однак злидні і бідність змушують їх розлучитися, а в цей час до дівчини сватається багатий возний Тетерваковський, нелюбий її серцю. Однак, для закоханих матеріальний достаток не є важливішим за щирі почуття. Перемежована піснями і легким гумором, Наталка Полтавка Івана Котляревського є класичним українським драматургічним твором. П'єса написана двома мовами — українською та російською.

Story
When neatly packed male body parts wash up by the River Elbe, Hamburg State Prosecutor Chastity Riley and her colleagues begin a perplexing investigation. As the murdered men are identified, it becomes clear that they all had a history of abuse towards women, leading Riley to wonder if it would actually be in society's best interests to catch the killers. But when her best friend Carla is attacked, and the police show little interest in tracking down the offender, Chastity takes matters into her own hands.

In Mühlensommer erzählt Martina Bogdahn warmherzig und humorvoll von einer Frau und ihrem Leben zwischen zwei Welten. Von einer Jugend auf dem Land, einer Flucht in die Stadt und einer folgenreichen Rückkehr. Von Müttern und Töchtern und davon, dass man manchmal zurückblicken muss, um sich selbst zu finden. Ein drückend heißer Sommertag. Mit ihren beiden Töchtern macht sich Maria auf den Weg in ein langes Wochenende fern von Stadt, Stress und Schule. Doch dann ruft Marias Mutter an. Der Vater hatte einen Unfall und liegt im Krankenhaus.
