Der 10. Mai (The Tenth of May) was the date in 1940 that Hitler invaded the Low Countries: Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg. Neutral Switzerland, which hadn't experienced a war since the 14th century, hurriedly fortified its borders with battalions of inexperienced soldiers. The panic, confusion and isolated acts of courage which occurred on that fateful day are re-created in this Swiss docudrama. The story is "personalized" by concentrating on a fugitive German soldier (Heinz Reincke) who falls in love with the Swiss girl (Linda Geiser) who shelters him. Produced on a bare-minimum budget, Der 10. Mai is impressive more for its sincerity and raw energy than for its actual cinematic merits.

Martin Hugentobler is "full of oil" when he gets home. You could also say he is "full to bursting". But this time, for once, there's a good reason: he and his three fellow Jass players have been playing the lottery for years, always with the same numbers. Finally, their perseverance is rewarded: five correct numbers mean a thousand francs each. However, this time Martin's wife Leni has filled in the slip instead of him - and made a mistake. A stroke of luck, because the "wrong" number helps the Hugentobler family win the main prize - one and a half million.
