"Based on a true story, North Face is a gripping edge-of-your-seat adventure drama about a 1936 expedition to climb the most dangerous rock face in the Alps, the North Face of the Eiger - aka the 'Murder Wall.' The Eiger has never been successfully climbed and, as the Berlin Olympics approach, Nazi propaganda urges German alpinists to vanquish the mountain for the glory of the Fatherland. Initially reluctant, two top young climbers, Toni Kurz (Benno Fürmann, 'Joyeux Noël') and Andi Hinterstoisser (Florian Lukas, 'Good Bye Lenin!'), are persuaded to take up the challenge by their childhood friend Luise (Johanna Wokalek, 'The Baader Meinhof Complex'), now an aspiring photojournalist in Berlin, and her boss (Ulrich Tukur, 'The Lives of Others'), a loyal Nazi looking for a good story. Soon the climb is on and what begins as a quest for glory becomes a desperate fight for survival." ((German with English subtitles)) Watch the trailer: http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi2061632537/

"In a world 10 years into the future, vampires make up the vast majority of the population with only 5% of the human race remaining. This presents particular challenges as the vampires' food supply - human blood - is dwindling and rationing is now the norm. There is growing evidence that vampires deprived of an adequate blood supply are themselves evolving into wild, vile creatures that attack anyone and anything in order to survive. Dr. Edward Dalton, a vampire and hematologist who works for a pharmaceutical firm, has been working on finding an artificial blood supply that will meet the vampire society's needs. He is sympathetic to humans and sees his work as a way of alleviating their suffering but his views on finding a solution change considerably when he meets someone who found a way to transform himself from being a vampire to again take human form."
