Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Cologne—what lies outside Germany’s metropolises? “City, Country, River—A Cinematic Journey Across Germany” is a new yearlong Goethe on Demand series exploring everyday realities in underrepresented parts of Germany, with a new film offered every month.
Start Streaming Five houses, one bus stop, cows and nothing but fields. 24-year-old Christin lives on a farm in Mecklenburg with her boyfriend Jan and his family. The exciting post-reunification years that defined her childhood are long gone. Her relationship is loveless, and she keeps the cherry liqueur close at hand. In the shimmering heat of summer, time seems to stand still—until 46-year-old wind energy engineer, Klaus, arrives.


Based on the eponymous novel by Alina Herbing (2017).

“There is this landscape between Hamburg and Berlin where you find yourself in this parallel existence of anarchy, patriarchy, and the familiar smell of slurry tankers. That fascinated me right away.” (Director Sabrina Sarabi)
