Question: Build a movie plot around this: Who runs the restaurant? Frida
Answer: Martha Klein (Martina Gedeck) is a chef at Lido, a gourmet restaurant in Hamburg, Germany. A perfectionist who lives only for her work, Martha has difficulty relating to the world other than through food. Her single-minded obsession with her culinary craft occasionally leads to unpleasant confrontations with customers. Consequently, the restaurant owner, Frida (Sibylle Canonica), requires her to see a therapist (August Zirner) to work out her poor interpersonal skills. Martha's therapy sessions, however, turn into monologues on food, and her approach to stress management usually involves briefly retreating to the restaurant's walk-in refrigerator.Martha's life takes a dramatic turn when she learns that her sister is killed in a car accident, leaving behind an eight-year-old daughter, Lina (Maxime Foerste). Martha must now look after her niece, who is understandably depressed, withdrawn, and refuses to eat. The girl's Italian father, Giuseppe Lorenzo, has been out of the picture for years living somewhere in Italy. While coping with her sister's death and raising the young girl, Martha's world is further complicated when Frida hires fun-loving and unorthodox Mario (Sergio Castellitto) as a sous-chef to replace Lea (Katja Studt), who is expecting a child any day. Martha looks on in horror as Mario transforms her kitchen of precision and logistics with his relaxed banter and eclectic jazz music.Unable to find an acceptable babysitter, Martha starts to bring Lina to the restaurant with her. Lina begins to emerge from her depression in the presence of Mario's playfulness, and even begins to eat when Mario leaves her unattended with a plate of spaghetti he's prepared. Touched by Mario's kindness and concern for the child, Martha becomes more accepting of Mario. She even asks for his help in locating Lina's father in Italy and translating a letter she's written to him.Just as Martha's strained relationship with Lina seems to be improving, she forgets to pick the girl up from school while helping Lea, her...

****
[A]: It's 1895 in Maple City, where champion horse harness racer and livery stable owner, Hank Armstrong (Russell Simpson), is well-known. Hank's prize mare, Sloe Eyes, wins all her races and Hank is popular and prosperous as a result.Sloe Eyes racing days come to an end when she becomes pregnant and gives birth to a foal, named "Bright Eyes." Unfortunately, Sloe Eyes is unable to survive the strain of giving birth and she dies, leaving Hank heartbroken, but dedicated to raising and caring for Bright Eyes.When the inventor of the new "horseless carriage," Elmer Hays (E. H. Calvert), comes to Maple City and makes a presentation about his invention, Hank is outwardly skeptical. Inwardly, he resents the attention that the new machine is attracting, and he's secretly worried that the machine might possibly replace his beloved horses.Banker & Squire Rufus Stebbins, the richest man in town, also becomes the first to buy one of the new cars (Douglas Gerrard). With several passengers riding along, he fires up the vehicle and with a flash of flame and cloud of smoke, he takes off down Main Street, with hundreds of excited citizens chasing along and cheering wildly. Stebbins didn't do any practice driving beforehand, so he has trouble controlling the car and crashes through several fences and scares numerous horses along the way. Eventually, he drives right off a high bluff, crashing the car into the river below. It doesn't appear as though anyone was seriously hurt.One of the local men working on his new car is belittled by Hank, who also challenges the man to a race. Hank asserts that his horse, Bright Eyes, could easily defeat the man's car in a one lap race around the local track. Bright Eyes and Hank do win the race, but only because the man's car experienced some mechanical issues during the race. All the spectators rushed in afterwards to look at the car, and not to congratulate Bright Eyes.Hank's son, Bob (Charles Emmett Mack), was never particularly interested in his father's horses, but he is highly enthusiastic...
Question: Build a movie plot around this: Who is the German's chief scientist? Gustav Lindt (Ludwig Donath)
Answer:
Michael Armstrong (Paul Newman), an esteemed American physicist and rocket scientist, is to attend a scientific conference in Copenhagen, Denmark. He takes a cruise ship to Copenhagen along with his assistant and fiancee, Sarah Sherman (Julie Andrews). Armstrong tells Sherman that he did not want her to come along, and en route to Copenhagen, he receives a radiogram to pick up a book once in Copenhagen. The book, allegedly a first-edition of one of Armstrong's book, actually contains a message that says, "Contact in case (of emergency.)" He tells Sherman he is going to Stockholm, but she discovers he is flying to East Berlin, and she follows him there. When they land, he is welcomed by representatives of the East German government, and Sherman realizes that Armstrong has defected to the other side. Sherman, however, is extremely uncomfortable with this move, realizing if the apparent defection is in fact real, given the circumstances of the Cold War of the period, she would likely never see her home or family again. They are constantly accompanied by Professor Karl Manfred (Gunter Strack), who took part in arranging Armstrong's defection to the East.Armstrong visits a contact, a 'farmer' (Mort Mills), where it is revealed that his defection is in fact a ruse to gain the confidence of the East German scientific establishment in order to learn just how much their chief scientist Gustav Lindt (Ludwig Donath) and by extension, the Soviet Union, knows about anti-missile systems. While Armstrong does not inform the U.S. government of his plan, he has made preparations to return to the West via an escape network, known as (Pi).However, Armstrong is followed to this farm by his official body man, Hermann Gromek (Wolfgang Kieling), an East German security officer assigned to him. Gromek realizes what is and that Armstrong is a double agent, and as Gromek is calling the police to report his suspicions, a tortuous and violent fight scene commences that ends with Gromek being killed. So as to not arouse the suspicion of...
