Thibaut Fismard from Munich has a hard time. His mother had married a Belgian engineer during the war, who disappeared immediately after the war. His mother raised her young son alone. Even at school and with neighbors, and later when looking for an apprenticeship, the fact that he was not German in the sense of the paragraphs stuck to him like a stigma. The opportunities open to his peers are closed to him, "the Belgian". The people of Munich dub his strange name "Tibo". When Tibo is suspected of stealing a moped and ends up in front of the juvenile court, the course is set for him to slip away. Tibo does not receive a work permit and certainly not German citizenship. But suddenly new paths open up for Tibo...

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
