Yearning for permanent roots, an adult woman connects with a family and forms an unlikely bond when she puts herself up for adoption.

A six-part dramatisation of one of the most exciting stories from the Second World War - the Nazis efforts to develop an atom bomb and the Allies desperate struggle to prevent it from happening.

Maria (Kim Basinger) is a successful business executive, struggling to fulfill her greatest wish of all: to bring a child into the world. After suffering yet another miscarriage, a doctor informs Maria that she's too old to carry a child and her whole world comes crashing down. Devastated and unable to accept her fate, Maria sets out on a desperate and perilous quest to realize her dream of motherhood. Director Anders Morgenthaler challenges the audience’s perceptions of vulnerability, power and emotional disturbance by exploring the soul of a very damaged character who still may manage to achieve her dreams. Uncompromising to the highest degree, he populates the world with losers, con-men and violent criminals whose nihilism correlates perfectly with the dead-eyed quest of our lead.

Upon learning that many former Nazis returned to their pre-war lives with no penalty, an ambitious German prosecutor (Alexander Fehling) vows to bring them to justice.

Worldwide, millions of honeybee colonies are dying each year, but the causes remain unknown. Depending on the world region, 50% to 90% of all local bees have disappeared, and this epidemic is still spreading from beehive to beehive – all over the planet. Scientists have good reason to be worried by this “colony collapse disorder”: 80% of plant species require bees to be pollinated. Far from being a casual curiosity, the death of honeybees gains frightening importance when we consider that they pollinate a third of all the food we eat.Should we blame pesticides or the medications used to combat them? Parasites or new viruses? Travelling stress? On our trip for answers we meet almond growers in California, a Swiss mountain beekeeper, a bee neuroscientist in Berlin, a pollen dealer in China, a bee researcher in Australia, and an inspirational pioneer forging a future with “killer bees”.
