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.
