Amazing Isfahan

Amazing Isfahan

Take a look at this natural beauty. Isfahan – the Florence of Persia, the blue pearl of Iran. The city in the heart of Iran is the most charismatic city in the country and often uttered in the same breath as Bagdad, Constantinople or Cairo. The former capital of the Persian Safavid Empire has long since lost the status of cosmopolitan city, but it still radiates a cosmopolitan charm of which the inhabitants are extremely proud. With its Iranian and Persian national consciousness, Isfahan emits a form of comeliness that attracts people near and far. Following the 30-year-old carpet dealer Shanty as he tries to establish a business for himself and his fiancée Nina, we discover the soul of the city with mesmeric shots, intimate portraits and true to life portrayals of daily life. For 120 years his family has been dealing with noble Persian carpets, but Shanty dreams of a modern coffee shop, driven by a youthful eagerness to experiment and with passion for the new. In the cozy little espresso bar on the city's famous Imam Square Shanty's barista conjures up the best créma in Isfahan while Pink Floyd, The Grateful Death and Led Zeppelin boom from the loudspeakers nothing new in Berlin or Paris but almost revolutionary here. In intimate pictures, we accompany the youngest son of an old Isfahan family through his bulging everyday life and see how many young Iranians try to unite the culture and traditions of their country with the present.

Amazing Iran

Amazing Iran

For the Iranian Turkmen a wedding is one of most important social events in their culture and is still celebrated according to old nomadic tradition. The Turkmen Steppe, the country of a thousand mountains, is a tribute to the hidden treasure that is Iran. Home to a proud nation with a majestic history, we show the freedom of a nomadic life, encounter the wild nature of the people and discover old traditions like the Turkmen wedding. Breathtaking sceneries create a mysticism that transports viewers into the realm of divinity while exposing a world caught between tradition and modernity - nomadism and sedentarism. Weddings in Iran are primarily arrangements between families and the product of lengthy negotiations. Even though many customs are purely symbolic, they still reflect the great significance as a rite of transition for the newlyweds and their families. The life of the Turkmen housewife revolves around weddings – first her own, later those of her children. Raising healthy, capable daughters and sons searching for possible partners mediating contact negotiating each betrothal with the family of the intended shouldering the wedding arrangements and the observance of customs and traditions – the responsibility for all of that falls to the mother. Though the Turkmen daughters and sons of today do insist on having their say, love, affection, trust and the like are still not the decisive criteria in making a match. The main consideration is not the subjective happiness of the couple but the happiness, stability and honor of each of their families as a whole. So it is still not uncommon for the bride and groom to be virtual strangers on their wedding day. The nuptials as a ritual of transition mark a series of profound changes – especially in the life of the bride. Once married, she leaves her family and her home village to take her new place within the family of the groom.

The 4th episode takes us along the Black Sea coast. Author Claudia Wallbrecht uncovers the secret of the Tulum, a very special type of bagpipe, and accompanies a forest beekeeper on breakneck climbing adventures in the name of honey. The eastern Black Sea region borders on Georgia and Armenia, and here cultures, languages and ethnic groups have been mixing for centuries: for example, Hemşin, Lasen and the descendants of Pontic Greeks. They all shape the region - and this episode - with their music, architecture, food and ancient customs.

The predominantly Kurdish society is still traditionally organized, with clear roles for women and men.
