Holding relatives accountable
The military dictatorship in Argentina left deep scars. Even forty years on, the country is still working through the trauma. For some families, that means questioning the roles their own relatives played in serious human rights crimes. People of the younger generation have banded together to shed light on the past. It's an attempt to break the silence that still prevails today in many families of the dictatorship criminals.

A foster mom for all
Elke Baumann is a foster mother here in Germany, who takes care of children in need. She has more than 30 years of experience. And she steps in when mothers can't take care of their own children. The kids find love and security with Baumann until permanent foster parents can be found. We accompanied her for several months – as she cared for other people's babies in their time of need.

Who wants to get a divorce?
Some families…just don't work out. Usually that leads to divorce. However, that's virtually impossible in the Philippines – the only country in the world besides the Vatican where divorce is not allowed. A new bill aims to change that, but whether it will pass remains unclear.

A café for all generations
And for our last story, we visit a café in Vienna that wants to bring generations together. The unique project aims to fight poverty, by giving the elderly a chance to earn some extra money after they retire. At the same time, these working grannies and grandpas teach younger folks at the café how to prepare delicious cakes. The café's name? Vollpension – which translates to full board.
