Federal President
Highest Office in the State
The Federal President holds the highest office in the Federal Republic of Germany. Quote Dr. Frank-Walter Steinmeier: “Mr. President, dear competitors, Ladies and Gentlemen, …“ The current acting president, Dr. Frank-Walter Steinmeier, was elected by the great majority of 931 members of the Federal Assembly on February 12, 2017. Quote Dr. Norbert Lammert: “And for Dr. Frank-Walter Steinmeier 931 votes…“ He has no government controlling function in the political system of the Federal Republic of Germany. He is meant to represent, not to govern, thus effectively promoting and communicating Germany’s political interests and political actions in the world . Quote Dr. Frank-Walter Steinmeier: “I thank the members of this Federal Assembly from my heart for the encouragement with which they have sent me on the way to the highest office of the state today. Their decision fills me with deep joy and my high regard for this office will remain undiminished.“ Quote: “Please take a seat!“

Ceramic
Ceramics are indispensable in our everyday lives. We eat from ceramic plates, drink from ceramic cups, use tiled ceramic bathrooms. But how is ceramic manufactured? The film reveals the secrets of this fascinating material! We get to know more about the beginnings of ceramic in the Old World of Egypt and Mesopotamia, about Greece, China and Rome. We gain interesting insights into the valuable earthenware and are also shown the exquisite further development of the "white gold". Today this versatile material is irreplaceable in industry, too. Whether in space or as an easily compatible substitute in medicine, ceramic is applied in many places.

Madita is eleven and blind. She does not want to go to a special school but to a regular grammar school. She says she feels "normal" there. Jonathan is eight and has a walking disability. He likes going to the school where he lives. Here, his best friend sits next to him. Max Dimpflmeier, a teacher who is severely deaf, explains that school life is not easy. Quote Max Dimpflmeier: "You don't want to attract attention, you want to avoid saying that it is necessary for you that 70 people adjust to your situation." People on their way to inclusion.
