Eva Trobisch film on post‑reunification East Germany

Overview

In early July 2026, Eva Trobisch’s upcoming feature was highlighted for examining family life in former East Germany after reunification, under the German title *Etwas ganz Besonderes*. By the end of the month the film, released internationally as *Home Stories*, premiered in cinemas on 29 July. The documentary‑drama follows 16‑year‑old Léa, a talented singer entering a reality‑TV competition, as she navigates personal ambition and family tensions. Set in Greiz, Thuringia, the story also portrays Léa’s divorced parents and aunt managing a family hotel and a historic estate threatened by bankruptcy, using their experiences to reflect the lingering impact of the Berlin Wall’s fall.
