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.

Street of Gongs

Street of Gongs

In Thailand's rural northeast you will find the street of Gongs. Outside the provincial capital of Ubon Ratchatani in Thailand's rural northeast, a country road nearly thirty kilometers long stretches to the banks of the Mekong River. Even from a distance, you can hear what is being made there: gongs of all sizes in nearly 50 manufactories. The gong is considered the ancient instrument and symbol of Asia. It occupies an important cultural significance, initiates rituals, expels demons, gives strength and courage. This film visits the creators of these unique instruments - a family business that has been laboriously handcrafting gongs for generations. They have a big mission: The abbot of the temple has ordered a new, large gong for the upcoming festival. Will they be able to finish it in time?

The Black Sea Coast

The Black Sea Coast

As wild and unpredictable as the Black Sea are the people who live on its coast - at least that is what they say in Turkey. In the fifth part of our journey, we meet young female footballers, passionate musicians in small fishing villages and up-and-coming cities and accompany a pilot through the difficult ship passage on the Bosporus to the Black Sea. In addition, the fertile coast lures with many discoveries: fishing is only one pillar of economic prosperity. In the mountainous hinterland you'll find tea, hazelnuts and tobacco.
