Part of

Unna Collection

The so-called Unna Trilogy (Unna-Trilogie) refers to three films by director Peter Thorwarth: Bang Boom Bang – Ein todsicheres Ding (1999), Was nicht passt, wird passend gemacht (2002), and Goldene Zeiten (2006). Thorwarth has stated that he did not originally plan the films as a trilogy under this title.
