The REWE Green Farming Markt, a unique supermarket, opened in Berlin in May: whilst customers fill their shopping baskets downstairs, fresh salad is growing upstairs. Harvesting is now underway in Germany’s largest rooftop greenhouse, and the first mixed salad packs are making their way through the checkouts.

The next stop on our journey takes us to a country shaped by people with big hearts, a rich history, and an even richer culinary culture. Amid centuries-old traditions, breathtaking landscapes, and genuine hospitality, one thing plays a central role here above all else: togetherness. Welcome to Bulgaria, welcome to the seventh stop on our journey of discovery!

German cinema is making a splash this autumn with fictional stories based on real-life events. In “Vaterland”, Polish director Pawel Pawlikowski has Thomas Mann travel through post-war Germany in 1949 with his daughter Erika, a role in which Hanns Zischler and Sandra Hüller bring the perfect expression to this dark comedy. In Pauline Roenneberg’s family-oriented psychological comedy “Kalter Hund”, deadly chasms open up on the occasion of the patriarch’s 100th birthday. And with Hitler’s rise to power in 1933, the nefarious Babylon comes to an end in the fifth series of “Berlin Babylon”. But first, there is one final series of murders to solve, available from 10 September on the ARD Mediathek.

No place in the world is better at shielding young people from their parents’ influence than a holiday camp. No wonder, then, that it has given rise to a whole host of myths and legends, true and fictional stories, a whole host of films – and even its own film sub-genres, ranging from the creepy to the romantic. Two decidedly original takes on the theme are hitting the big screen this summer. In the darkly colourful comedy *Sunny Dancer*, 18-year-old Ivy makes up for lost youth at a ‘chemo camp’. “Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma”, featuring a star-studded cast, develops into a satirical horror film-within-a-film. And on Netflix, comedian Ricky Gervais roams through animated alleyways in six episodes as a fat tomcat with his “Alley Cats”.

The crux of film music is that, at best, you don’t even notice it. Two wonderful films showing in cinemas this July make it a central element of the plot. First, there is the romantic thriller-comedy *The Piano Tuner*, which centres on a piano concerto composed especially for the film. Then there’s Pedro Almodóvar’s regular composer, Alberto Iglesias, who weaves his harmonies around a classic by the Mexican singer Chavela, turning *A Bitter Feast* into an aural delight. Orchestrated drama also awaits viewers in the 10-part remake of the psychological thriller “Cape of Fear”, starring Amy Adams and Javier Bardem, on Apple TV.
