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.
In episode 3, the journey goes to the almost forgotten region of Eastern Anatolia, which borders Armenia, Iran, Iraq and Syria. Accordingly, different cultures and religions mix here. The landscape is characterized by magnificent mountain ranges and endless steppes. Most people here live very simply, with sheep and goats adapted to the barren conditions and dry climate. The predominantly Kurdish society is still traditionally organized, with clear roles for women and men.
The 2nd episode starts in Central Anatolia, goes through Cappadocia and ends near the Syrian border. Those who set off from Antalya on the coast inland will reach Isparta. In the rose-growing region, author Nadja Frenz is intoxicated by the intense scent of the Damascene rose, in Konya she meets the dancing Dervishes and discovers the fairytale landscape of Cappadocia. The journey ends with homemade liqueurs in Samandağ, where Christians, Jews, Alewites and Sunnis still live in peaceful harmony - just a few kilometers from the Syrian border.

Sabine Howe meets women who are swimming free, men who are clinging on - but above all people who are trying anew every day to resolve this question for themselves.

Greenland is the largest island in the world and the landmass closest to the North Pole. 80% of the country is covered by a layer of ice up to 3000 meters thick.
