- As you can see from the title, this underground movie (but "how underground can you be" as the main protagonist interestingly remarks) is neither a sex/erotic/porn movie, nor an intellectual Stanislawskian exercise of style: it's both. Or, to phrase it more precisely, a intellectual-existential wank about sex and life - or rather failure in life. An emotionally broken Polish director - the excellent Malga Kubiak, herself an actor-director of sexually graphic movies in real life - gathers a bunch of German wannabe actors in a remote bungalow deep in the forest. The obsessive director, an increasingly tyrannical psycho-maniac, wants total commitment from her actors to her movie, i.e., wants them to have real sex before the camera. She chose German actors because she thought Germans didn't have any problem with nudity. But the cast rebels. They don't mind playing sex, but don't want to do it for real on camera. The director - whose suggestive forlorn beauty is that of a retired porn star - doggedly sticks to her idea, inflexible in her demands. The whole experience turns into a sheer disaster for everyone. A big joke, with hilarious scenes of failed sex that conveys a sense of absurdity close to Gogolian despair.
- (Bearskin Prince) Aging king Wenzel's only son and heir, prince Marius, was his father's pride and joy, but showed no interest in state matters, absorbed by fashionable flirt and idle pleasures, taking no suitable suitor serious.

Alas for him, the additional challenge is to do so while covered in live bear fur, making him appear a dangerous monstrosity.

Freda, however, thinks that she is bound in honor to Hans on the other side, and says "No" to her employer and starts back to Germany: but she has become so thoroughly Americanized that she is a much better American than a German, and when she finds that Hans has been courting another German lassie she decides that America is good enough for her, and back she goes to her old job in the office, which, however, she does not hold very long, for her employer again makes his offer of marriage and is this time heartily accepted.

Immediately after the wedding, Theo moves in with her in the Reimersche family villa - nothing seems to stand in the way of their mutual happiness. Or is it? While Theo soon gets to feel the idiosyncrasies of his new wife, Hilde quickly realizes that she can hardly keep up with the pace of the agile Theo in everyday life. In order not to worry him, she doesn't tell him about her mysterious dizzy spells. Even when Hilde faints while shopping and misses the plane to her honeymoon, she doesn't tell Theo about her health problems.

Even with Hilde's adult daughters, who also live with their families in the large villa, the house blessing is lopsided. While Anja waits in vain for her friend Karin, who went to Brazil alone, to finally get in touch, Sebastian fights to finally be accepted as the father of her child.
