THE HOUSE OF DREAMS
PERIOD SET TV SERIES
Now, this one started last night, September 18th, but I forgot to tell you on time, naughty me, not that most of you even have RTL + unless you live in Germany or in one of the European countries that have it in their cable
system, but even then you'd have to know Deutch. I am rather sure, though, that THE HOUSE OF DREAMS (Das Haus der Träume)will at some point be available on MHz Choice with English subtitles.

THE 12 PART TV SERIES
takes
us to Berlin in the 1920s, Jewish businessman and war veteran Arthur
Grünberg (Alexander Scheer) wanted to open Germany's first credit
department store in the completely impoverished district of Berlin.
There, even the little people should be able to fulfill a few of their
dreams thanks to cheap purchase, that's
his noble goal, which, however,
is not so easy to implement due to the financing. In addition to
business problems and the burgeoning National 
Socialism, he and his wife
Alice Grünberg (Nina Kunzendorf) are also struggling with marital
problems. Plus, her son Harry (Ludwig Simon) lives very differently from
the rest of the family and spends his nights in Berlin as a
bar
pianist. He has no interest whatsoever in the family business. The
penniless Vicky Maler (Naemi Florez), who is soon able to earn at least a
little money as a saleswoman in their department store, falls in love
with him of all people. When she finds out who Harry really is, whom she
previously
thought was also a penniless musician, their relationship is
on shaky ground. Marriage between the two is unthinkable for a number
of reasons, although Vicky is now pregnant by Harry.

Dying to see this one. Glad MHZ Choice is bringing it soon
ReplyDeleteI am not sure it is, but that is what I am guessing. I mean who else could bring it?
DeleteOhhh Gattocito, don’t disappoint me. And me uncorking champagne already. There are two streaming platforms that could bring House of Dreams to USA. MHz Choice, but they are bringing less and less period pieces. So, my bet is on Water Presents that streams via PBS Amazon. Walter has been adding English subtitles to several German period dramas of late (Tannbach, Our Miracle Years and Ku’Damm).
DeleteNetflix on the other hand… They have the rights to Babylon Berlin’s 4th Season, but I don’t think they have the money to buy or produce period pieces. The one that alarms me is Disney since they bought the rights for Sisi and may start buying german stuff. Disney has become a barracuda. It swallowed Hulu, it swallowed Starz. In Latin America, you can’t acquire the Starz package via regular cable like I used to. You either get it via Disney or subscribe online to Starz Media and I hope one can watch it on a smart tv screen.
Yes, MHz has switched over to police drama and forensic crap. Disney is the scourge of our days, no taste nor talent but lots of monies. And tons of unwanted wokeness.
DeleteYou said it, Disney has money and wokeness (wonder if they are sponsored by the Sorority), but so did Netflix once. The mighty doth fall. I’m about to flush MHZ down the toilet, but they had brought one period piece Paris Police 1900. After I finish it, I may consider dispensing with their services. They think Americans just watch police and forensic shows. What's RTL and Now?
DeleteRTL is the German channel the series airs on, it is their most popular channel next to PRO 7. And NowTV or TVNow I forgot which is it, is their streaming platform, kinda like BBC Play or ITVX.
DeleteThis looks beautifully done. Look at those authentic smiles in the poster!
ReplyDeleteShould be a nice little show.
DeleteGotta check this out later...didn't know it was on RTL..
ReplyDeleteBoth on RTL and RTL Plus and NowTV.
DeleteOh, now this looks lovely. I do hope we get it with subtitles. If you hear the word, do let us know where we can get it!
ReplyDeleteI am guessing it will be on MHz channel on Amazon.
